notes: Midwest Food Bank helps Kansas tornado victims 05/10/2007 15:47:35 They built their reputation by helping evacuees after Hurricane Katrina -- and now the Midwest Food Bank in Bloomington has been called to help after another disaster. The group is preparing to deliver a second shipment of food and supplies to Greensburg, Kansas, where about 1,700 people remain displaced after a tornado. President Dave Keiser told WJBC's Beth Whisman, the Salvation Army knows they can call them when they need help. Kieser says the food bank has enough food to send to Kansas and still keep local shelves stocked, but he says household supplies like blankets towels and cookware are in short supply. If you can help, call the Midwest Food Bank at: (309)663-5350. -------------------------------------------- Mission: It is our mission to gather large food donations from nationwide corporations and distribute them to social service organizations, free of charge, to help those in need. It is our goal to receive and distribute in-kind donations at no cost to those in need and to meet and maintain our own overhead. -------------------------------------------- Local: The Midwest Food Bank serves over 350 nonprofit organizations locally. Being located in Central Illinois allows many nonprofit organizations and volunteers to take part in our monthly distributions and daily activities. --------------------------------------------- National: With the recent disasters of Hurricane Katrina, Rita, and Wilma the Midwest Food Bank has felt the need to help out as much as possible. In response to Hurricane Katrina, the first semi-load of food was delivered to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, September 1. Since then loads have been delivered to Mississippi (Biloxi, D’Iberville, Pearlington, and Jackson), Louisiana (LaPlace, Alexandria, Lake Charles, New Orleans, Baton Rouge), Texas (Beaumont, Pasedena, Lufkin), and Florida (Clewiston). In response to these natural disasters, Midwest Food Bank has partnered with the Salvation Army and has been identified as part of their “1st Response Team.” Disaster relief efforts have also been conducted with the American Red Cross. We feel honored to serve those in need with these organizations. ----------------------------------------------- International: The Midwest Food Bank has also had the opportunity to serve internationally. With the help of a corporate sponsor assisting with freight costs, we recently sent shipments of dry food products to Christian Boarding Schools in Liberia, Africa. We will continue to be available and look for opportunities to serve internationally. -> Midwest Food Bank helps Kansas tornado victims 05/10/2007 15:47:35 They built their reputation by helping evacuees after Hurricane Katrina -- and now the Midwest Food Bank in Bloomington has been called to help after another disaster.
