Fresh food delivery
In August, the SeaGate Food Bank received $15,000 from The Cleveland Cliffs Foundation to continue the efforts of eradicating hunger in Northwest Ohio. The funds were specifically awarded to add more stops to Alice’s Mobile Farm Market, a food truck that delivers locally grown produce to seniors living in food desert areas. The truck runs Monday-Wednesday and Friday to various locations every week. Senior coupons, SNAP, W.I.C., and cash are accepted. To locate the truck’s scheduled stops, check their Facebook page.
