MRHC Offers Food Assistance to Area Residents
The recent government shutdown has paused SNAP benefit funding, leaving many families in the area facing increased food insecurity. To help meet this immediate need, Manning Regional Healthcare Center (MRHC), in partnership with the Legacy Fund, is offering weekly meal bags throughout November to local households impacted by the hold on SNAP benefits. Each meal bag will include non-perishable ingredients to prepare a complete meal for a family.
In addition, a Thanksgiving meal kit will be offered the week of Thanksgiving. The meal kits will be complete with a turkey and traditional Thanksgiving trimmings.
“At MRHC, we live our mission of delivering compassionate, personalized, high-quality healthcare to enhance the well-being of the communities we serve, and that extends beyond the walls of our hospital,” said MRHC Chief Executive Officer Shannon Black, MHA. “Our goal is to help our neighbors get through this difficult time with compassion and dignity.”
Families in need can sign up by contacting Jackie Blackwell at 712-655-8167 or jackie.blackwell@mrhcia.com
