SCRA grant funds fresh food for Scott County pantries

By Theresa Labella, Churches United QC

Volunteers at our 13 food pantries in Scott County will offer fresh food to individuals and families in need this summer, thanks to a generous $18,000 grant from the Scott County Regional Authority.

Churches United of the Quad City Area offers free food to individuals and families at 25 neighborhood food pantries in our bi-state area. Dinner is served daily at one of our 3 hot meal sites. Women, with or without children, are sheltered at Winnie’s Place, the only emergency shelter in the Illinois Quad Cities for homeless women and children who may have survived domestic abuse.

For more information about our programs and how you can support Churches United, visit our website at www.cuqca.org or call 563-332-5002.
