It really makes you think about dad's old saying "eat all your dinner, there are people starving". It's true, but we can help. A new way to help fight hunger is with the new Kraft, Weld Food Bank Mobile Pantry truck.

The Weld Food Bank is looking for a few good men. Or women. Or well-behaved teens if accompanied by their parents. The summer months are a time when there is less volunteerism at the food bank.
