On Wednesday, Nov 5, the Atlantic High School will host its second mobile food pantry. This event is open to anyone in the community and in Cass County, and it is free of charge.

The high school hosted a mobile food pantry this past summer and it was a great success. The football team and girls volleyball team helped make it possible by helping unload the truck and help set things up. Over 700 people were served last time, and some of them were people that some had never met before.

The food will be delivered between 3:30 and 4:30 pm. From 4:30 to 6:30 pm, food will be distributed, and from then till 7 will be time to clean everything up. Two or three groups of students are needed to help, and another 25 to help hand out food and assist the elderly with carrying out their groceries. If you’re interested in volunteering, talk to the office.
