Carolyn Fergus with Interchurch Social Services of Knox County talked to Marcy Rinehart about the Pop-Up Distribution at Habitat For Humanity on Saturday. They were able to open early because of the volunteers being so organized. She adds that they had food to feed over 300 families.
Food For The Hungry Board President Austin Swallow talks about how the volunteers including the many organizations who took part in the Pop Up Distribution happen. He said they started planning in early October in the event the government shutdown happened and continued and how it would effect Knox Countians in need.
Austin says that they had about $23,000 worth of food and products that they were distributing on Saturday. He says that most of the money came from Food For The Hungry, but Carolyn was able to get a large portion for free from the Mid Ohio Food Collective.
