Rockford tackles food insecurity with free groceries
“Organizers said that about 11% of Illinois residents live in poverty, and that this was just a way to help.
‘We’re able to bring groceries exactly where people are, give them away for free, and are able to impact them with as little effort on their part, and we plan on continuing that as long as we can,’ said Betsy Neal the Operations Manager at Goodr.
Energy assistance, weatherization kits and other free resources were available at the pop-up as well.”
