On Friday, March 19th, Genesis Hospital delivered a semi full of food collected by their employees to Churches United of the Quad City Area to benefit their 26 food pantries throughout the QCA's.
All Saints Lutheran Church, 5002 Jersey Ridge Road, Davenport is one of the 26 food pantries in Churches United food pantry neighborhood network and they have kindly offered their fellowship hall to receive this food. Volunteers will then be working the first two days of the next week to sort and distribute this food back into the community where it is needed most.
Genesis employees are in the process of collecting 25,000 - 35,000 food items! With the present economy and the increased need for food in the area, this food couldn't come at a better time! Last year, over 4300 MORE people walked through Churches United's neighborhood food pantries providing food for almost 13,000 more people than the year before.
