Inside the food truck were many fresh produce options, along with milk, eggs and butter. Families could shop and pick their own items at no cost. “We are really thankful for this partnership with Church of the Resurrection and are excited that they will be coming once a month to help our patients and neighbors,” said Anne Rauth with Mercy and Truth.
