Portage pop-up pantry brings fresh food home

Fresh produce and pantry staples are rolling right into rural Portage County, thanks to the library’s pop-up food pantry. On a freezing Friday morning, volunteers loaded up over 100 cars with boxes of groceries—making a real difference for neighbors who can’t always make it to bigger towns or stores. Folks like Sam and Jim say these pop-ups help them stretch their food budgets, especially when SNAP runs out. With more events planned, it’s clear these pantries are filling a real gap for families in food deserts. How do you think we can keep this momentum going for our rural communities? #Safety #PortageCounty #FoodAssistance
