Volunteers from the Mauritanian Network for Human Rights in the US were recently seen packaging and distributing fresh produce at the Mid-Ohio Food Collective’s South Side pop-up food pantry in Columbus, Ohio. The pop-up pantry is located in the former Refugee Road Kroger and aims to provide food to those in need.
Dozens of individuals lined up to receive food from the pantry, which operates with the help of volunteers from the Mauritanian Network for Human Rights in the US. Eventually, the Mid-Ohio Food Collective plans to renovate the building to serve as a social services hub.
Volunteers like Houleye Thiam, Mayetau Kane, Ericson Kwoi, and others worked diligently to package and distribute produce to community members in need. The collaboration between the Mauritanian Network for Human Rights in the US and the Mid-Ohio Food Collective demonstrates the importance of coming together to support those facing food insecurity.
The efforts of these volunteers have not gone unnoticed, as individuals were seen walking home with boxes of fresh produce thanks to the generosity of these organizations. The impact of their work is sure to be felt throughout the community, providing much-needed support to those who need it most.
Overall, the partnership between the Mauritanian Network for Human Rights in the US and the Mid-Ohio Food Collective showcases the power of community collaboration in addressing food insecurity and supporting those in need.
