Chad, our Weinberg Food Pantry coordinator, recently received a call from the USO. The USO (United Service Organizations Inc.) is a private, nonprofit organization that provides morale and recreational services to members of the U.S. military, with programs in 140 centers worldwide. They were evacuating military families and American citizens from Japan and had a lot of leftover food to donate to the Weinberg Food Pantry.
Chad drove the Pantry truck to DIA and waited until the last of the evacuees were out of the hangar before soldiers from the Army loaded the food onto the truck. We received 126 cases of Lunchables, 5 cases of oranges, 4 cases of apples, and assorted chips and baked goods, totaling 1,584 pounds!
Thank you to the USO for all that you do for military families and for our Pantry clients!
