In April 2022, Nexstar Media-owned WKRG News 5 in Mobile, Ala., is kicking off a new initiative in partnership with Feeding the Gulf Cost called “Stock the Pantry.” Their goal is to make sure children don’t go hungry during the summer.
One in four children along the Gulf Coast is food insecure, meaning it may be difficult for them to get access to proper food and nutrition. For students in the Mobile County Public School System receive breakfast and lunch for free, summers present a challenge accessing adequate nutrition.
The station is partnering with sponsors throughout the Mobile community to accept “Stock the Pantry” food donations at orange barrels in 31 drop-off locations. A complete list of locations and needed items are available on the station’s website.
