93.9 The Eagle – The News and Talk of Columbia, MO
With Thanksgiving less than a week away, the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri says more people than ever before are struggling. Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri president Lindsay Lopez says everything costs more today, adding that hunger is real and is prevalent in our community. She joined us live on 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri”, telling listeners that anyone struggling who needs food should visit their new food bank market on Columbia’s Business Loop, which opened November 1. It’s near Firestone. Ms. Lopez says the food bank market served 350 families on opening day:
