UDMO Humbolt County— Haul Out Hunger
posted on Thursday, June 20, 2019
“We are dedicated to building stronger communities,” said Marie Rold of Upper Des Moines Opportunity (UDMO) in Humboldt County. “We continue to evolve and grow in order to serve as best as we can. We’re very grateful for this donation because it will help us feed families at times when they need it most.”
On today’s visit, our Haul Out Hunger crew unloaded 120 pork loins at the food pantry in Humboldt. Those loins will provide approximately 2,160 four-ounce servings of nutritious pork for families in need.
“Right now we are using our funds to purchase meat for our clients,” said Marie. “But that’s just ground beef and hot dogs, so I can only imagine the smiles these pork loins are going to put on people’s faces.”
Located in the same building as the Humboldt County Ministerial Food Pantry, UDMO serves hundreds of families in the area.
“Protein is an important part of everyone’s diet, especially children,” continued Marie. “But the reality is that most families can’t afford it with limited budgets.”
The pantry is open for qualifying families every Monday and Wednesday, but UDMO also offers services like energy assistance, chore services for the elderly, budget counseling, baby supplies, among many other services.
“We are dedicated to building stronger communities,” said Marie. “We continue to evolve and grow in order to serve as best as we can. We’re very grateful for this donation because it will help us feed families at times when they need it most.”
