Just Food praised for community food program in public forum
Ace Hickey of Lawrence argues against a March 9 editorial that labeled Just Food a failed venture. He lists October 2009 to present efforts including 2000 monthly pantry users, a mobile pantry serving 200 households, two emergency programs for seniors, 7000 pounds of donated food, a Harvesters partnership at 10 cents per pound, weekly surplus produce from the Farmers Market, and a 3 person volunteer workforce handling data entry grants pickups and warehouse tasks. He stresses Just Food complements other pantries and needs community support with grassroots fundraising to sustain hunger relief.
