The Well Outreach and its staff have been working for months to keep up with the increased demand spurred on by the countless layoffs and furloughs seen across the state due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Nevertheless, The Well has remained true to its mission of feeding those in need, and will continue its regular mobile food pantries this Friday at Spring Hill High School, starting at 8 a.m.

Proof of residency or other supporting documents are never required at The Well’s mobile food pantries. Anyone in need is welcome, with volunteers for the food drive in great need. Those interested in volunteering can learn more by clicking here. 

Like all of its mobile food pantries, The Well staff and volunteers will be handing out 20,000 pounds of food to those in need. In order to adhere to safety recommendations amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, those in need will be asked to stay in their vehicles, with volunteers delivering food directly to families’ trunks or back seats.

At the onset of the pandemic during the month of April, The Well saw an increase in demand by roughly 80%.
