The Mobile Food Pantry (MFP) gives families who live in food deserts the opportunity to receive supplemental food right in their neighborhood. The pantry operates once a month at three locations throughout Wichita. This increases accessibility to healthy food options and breaks down some of the barriers to a healthier lifestyle for those living in food deserts. Reaching approximately 60-100 individuals per month, the MFP is a vital component to serving families in our community. Those in need can receive food, simply by providing verbal confirmation of their name, address, and date of birth. 

The following days and locations in Wichita are open from 2-4:30PM on the 3rd week of the month. Mobile Food Panty is only occurring once a month.
