Mars Food, The MolinaCares Accord, and Kroger Delta Division Present Delivery Truck to Hearty Helpings Food Pantry & Soup Kitchen
GREENVILLE, Miss., Nov. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Mars Food, The MolinaCares Accord, in collaboration with Molina Healthcare of Mississippi and Kroger Delta Division continued their efforts to broaden access to fresh, healthy foods across the Mississippi Delta region. The coalition teamed up to purchase a refrigerated delivery truck for Hearty Helpings Food Pantry & Soup Kitchen – one of the largest food pantries in Washington County – to enable the organization to triple its distribution of healthy foods to people across the region.
密西西比州格林維爾2021年11月3日/美通社/--今天,瑪氏食品公司、MolinaCares協議公司與密西西比州的Molina Healthcare和克羅格三角洲分部合作,繼續努力在密西西比州三角洲地區擴大新鮮、健康食品的供應。該聯盟聯手購買了一輛冷藏送貨卡車,運送豐盛的食物-食品儲藏室和湯廚房-華盛頓縣最大的食品儲藏室之一,以使該組織能夠將向該地區人民分發的健康食品增加兩倍。
"We are so excited to have a refrigerated truck of our own to help transport healthy foods to Greenville and Washington County residents in need. Previously, we had to rent a truck each time we needed to transport a large amount of food, so we're thrilled to no longer have to incur that expense, as well as the ability to get healthy foods faster to area residents," said Pandora Redmond, Executive Director of Hearty Helpings Food Pantry
“我們很高興能有一輛我們自己的冷藏卡車來幫助運送健康食品到格林維爾和華盛頓縣有需要的居民。以前,每次需要運輸大量食物時,我們都要租一輛卡車,所以我們很高興不再需要支付這筆費用,而且能夠更快地將健康食品送到當地居民手中,這讓我們感到興奮。“Hourty Helings Food Pantry的執行董事潘多拉·雷德蒙德(Pandora Redmond)説
The funds used to purchase the truck is part of a larger community initiative launched earlier this year by Mars Food, MolinaCares, and the Kroger Delta Division to expand area-residents' access to healthy food. Approximately 70,000 healthy meals* will be donated through this coalition per year to area food banks, including Hearty Helpings.
用於購買這輛卡車的資金是瑪氏食品、MolinaCares和克羅格三角洲分部今年早些時候發起的一項更大的社區倡議的一部分,該倡議旨在擴大該地區居民獲得健康食品的機會。通過這個聯盟,每年將有大約7萬份健康膳食*捐贈給地區食品銀行,包括豐盛的食物。
In addition to presenting the Hearty Helpings truck donation, the coalition also hosted a mobile vaccination clinic and held an education session at the Boys & Girls Club of Washington County to teach Greenville area students about the importance of oral health and limiting their sugar intake.
除了獻上熱心的救援卡車捐款外,該聯盟還主辦了一家流動疫苗接種診所,並在華盛頓縣的男孩女孩俱樂部舉行了一次教育會議,以授課格林維爾讓地區學生了解口腔健康的重要性,並限制他們的糖攝入量。
"It is amazing to see this initiative come to life as we continue to offer everyone a seat at the table by providing access to nutritious meals that we all deserve," said Denis Yarotskiy, regional president, Mars Food North America. "While we have partnered with Hearty Helpings Food Pantry & Soup Kitchen for many years, we are particularly proud of our efforts over the past year to understand the needs of Greenville residents and how we could help further the pantry's mission to feed and nurture the Greenville community. We're excited about steps we've made with MolinaCares and Kroger and look forward to the opportunity to do even more in the future in service of our purpose."
瑪氏食品北美地區總裁丹尼斯·亞羅特斯基(Denis Yarotski)表示:“看到這一倡議付諸實施令人驚訝,因為我們繼續為每個人提供餐桌上的一個座位,提供我們所有人都應得的營養餐。”他説:“雖然我們與欣欣向榮的食品儲藏室和湯廚房合作多年,但我們特別自豪的是,在過去的一年裏,我們為了解消費者的需求所做的努力讓我們感到特別自豪。格林維爾我們還將繼續幫助當地居民,以及我們如何幫助推進食品儲藏室的使命,為格林維爾社區提供食物和養育。我們對我們與MolinaCares公司和克羅格公司已經採取的步驟感到興奮,並期待着將來有機會為我們的目標做更多的事情。“
"This partnership combines the strength of these three great companies to serve this unique and treasured community—a community that they've invested in, lived in, and care deeply about," said Bridget Galatas, plan president of Molina Healthcare of Mississippi. "I'm humbled to be a small part of the caring and thoughtful teams that made this possible."
