New Truck For Delivery Of Donated Food
WEST VIRGINIA...
The Mountaineer Food Bank is getting some new wheels for delivering food to West Virginia's needy.
The Wal-Mart Foundation is giving $148,500 to Mountaineer Food Bank toward the purchase of a 26-foot refrigerated truck. The truck will help donated fruits, vegetables and meat last longer when being transported from store to charity.
Some of the funds came from an online campaign where Wal-Mart associates voted directly for a nonprofit group to receive funding in their home state.
Food bank officials plan to unveil the truck next Tuesday at a Wal-Mart in South Charleston.
