“We know families facing food insecurity need more than food; they need stability to avoid homelessness and build self-sufficiency” – Heartland Hope Mission
In the metro, 119,000 people don’t have enough to eat or know where their next meal will come from. To address this need, the United Way of the Midlands Good on the Go initiative provides essential items to support vital nonprofit programming.
In partnership with Mayor Ewing and in celebration of the Year of the Neighbor initiative, join an opportunity for individuals or teams to participate in a Good on the Go kit build benefiting local nonprofit partners.
