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.

密西西比州格林维尔2021年11月3日/美通社/--今天,玛氏食品公司、MolinaCares协议公司与密西西比州的Molina Healthcare和克罗格三角洲分部合作,继续努力在密西西比州三角洲地区扩大新鲜、健康食品的供应。该联盟联手购买了一辆冷藏送货卡车,运送丰盛的食物-食品储藏室和汤厨房-华盛顿县最大的食品储藏室之一,以使该组织能够将向该地区人民分发的健康食品增加两倍。
"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
“我们很高兴能有一辆我们自己的冷藏卡车来帮助运送健康食品到格林维尔和华盛顿县有需要的居民。以前,每次需要运输大量食物时,我们都要租一辆卡车,所以我们很高兴不再需要支付这笔费用,而且能够更快地将健康食品送到当地居民手中,这让我们感到兴奋。“Hourty Helings Food Pantry的执行董事潘多拉·雷德蒙德(Pandora Redmond)说
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.
用于购买这辆卡车的资金是玛氏食品、MolinaCares和克罗格三角洲分部今年早些时候发起的一项更大的社区倡议的一部分,该倡议旨在扩大该地区居民获得健康食品的机会。通过这个联盟,每年将有大约7万份健康膳食*捐赠给地区食品银行,包括丰盛的食物。
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.
除了献上热心的救援卡车捐款外,该联盟还主办了一家流动疫苗接种诊所,并在华盛顿县的男孩女孩俱乐部举行了一次教育会议,以授课格林维尔让地区学生了解口腔健康的重要性,并限制他们的糖摄入量。
"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."
