united way of the mark twain

First it was pork – now it’s produce. The United Way of the Mark Twain Area announced Wednesday it had partnered with the USDA’s Farmers to Families Food Box Program to distribute over 79,000 pounds of fresh produce to non-profit organizations.

On Thursday, United Way of the Mark Twain Area distributed 8,600 pounds of pork to 20 area food pantries and senior centers as one of the projects the organization has tackled in their response to COVID-19.

Area food pantries whose resources have been stretched because of the COVID-19 crisis got a boost Wednesday.

The United Way of the Mark Twain Area had over a half-million reasons to celebrate at its annual meeting Wednesday.
