When not serving as the CEO of McLaren Oakland Hospital in Pontiac, Michigan, Margaret Ann Dimond spends much of her time working with charities. One of the nonprofits Margaret Ann Dimond supports is the Gleaners Food Bank, which helps combat hunger in her area.
One way Gleaners Food Bank fights hunger is by providing inexpensive food through its My Neighborhood Mobile Grocery trucks. These pop-up market trucks provide many staple foods, such as frozen meats, fresh produce, milk, and eggs, at prices typically at least 25 percent lower than local food stores. Any dollar spent on milk, eggs, juice, or produce earns an equal amount of credit toward the next purchase of such items. For those who don't have time to cook from scratch, Meal Bag recipe kits are also available.
In addition to providing the food itself, My Neighborhood Mobile Grocery offers nutrition and cooking resources. Those who don't know what to do with a specific food item can find recipes and nutrition resources regarding any food My Neighborhood Mobile Grocery has to offer online at the group's website.
