"We are honored to support through mobile so that it can continue to foster personal and community assistance and support throughout Minnesota. Food banks like EFN's provide a basic fundamental need in today's society especially during the holidays when many aren't able to benefit from a plentiful Thanksgiving meal. We are happy to provide a service we know will eventually help sustain EFN's hunger relief partners indefinitely."
