Mobile Foodshare is an outdoor food distribution initiative for low income individuals. The food choices vary from week to week but usually include bread and several types of fresh produce.

Welch thanked Gloria McAdam, President and CEO of Foodshare, and her Foodshare volunteers for their outreach efforts.
