On Wednesday, we had four students from Olivet High School join us at our mobile distribution. These great kids had a full circle moment - they helped volunteer by distributing the donated meat from the animals purchased at the livestock auction at Eaton County Fair.

Processing was provided by the Greater Lansing Food Bank. Four animals were donated providing high quality protein to the local families at the Vermontville mobile food bank distribution.

Thank you Rylie Betts, Emily Eishen, Audrey Salazar, and Troy Jones for all your help.

I'd like to give a big shoutout to the Nashville Post Office for hosting a food drive that's stuffing shelves locally. They managed to gather over 4 massive carts with grub and generously donated it to Vermontville and Nashville's food banks - my car was so packed!!
