Second Harvest hosts 'Fill the Van', sites at local grocers
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — If you spot a Second Harvest Community Food Bank truck outside your local grocery store, you have a chance to help fight food insecurity in the St. Joseph and Savannah areas.
From July through October, Second Harvest will park its truck twice a month outside Sam's Club in St. Joseph and Brother's Market in Savannah. The goal is to collect donations of newly purchased food items to support the Campus Cupboard program, which serves 19 counties and more than 50,000 children during the summer months.
Communications Director Mackenzie Osborn said the drives typically collect between 7,000 and 10,000 pounds of food. She emphasized the importance of items that can be used to prepare multiple meals.
The thing that matters most when it comes to feeding families is providing items that help make complete meals," Osborn said. "Today we've received macaroni and cheese, peanut butter and vegetables, all things that are healthy and help families stretch their meals."
Shoppers like Laura Coborn, who donated pasta, spaghetti sauce and honey, said giving is quick and meaningful.
"I donated some pasta, spaghetti sauce and honey, and I feel like God wants us to give," Coborn said.
The food drives are held twice a month, on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. But for those who can't make it, Osborn said there are still ways to contribute.
"If you aren't able to make a donation at one of the Fill The Van days or outside the area, you can always start a local food drive to benefit your local food pantry because they're always in need, just like the school food pantries are, Osborn said.
In addition to the monthly events, a citywide food drive will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, October 3, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, October 4, at multiple locations.

New grants boost housing, schools and safety in Richland County
The Richland County Foundation Board of Trustees has approved grants totaling over $923,634. This decision was made during the board's June meeting, according to an announcement. Several competitive and field of interest grants were approved. Notable recipients include Habitat for Humanity of Richland and Crawford Counties, which received funding for the Building Futures Together initiative. This project is a collaboration with Pioneer Career & Technology Center aimed at expanding access to affordable housing while providing hands-on workforce training for local students. During the 2025–2026 academic year, Pioneer students will construct a new Habitat home in Shelby, creating opportunities for families in need and equipping students with valuable skills. The City of Mansfield Police Department was awarded a grant for a Therapy K9 Team, which includes a canine named Charlie. Charlie will be assigned to the Mansfield Senior High School Resource Officer and will be part of the Community Police Unit. The Therapy K9 Team aims to support students, teachers and staff affected by trauma, fostering positive relationships between law enforcement and the community. The Lucas Community Center received a grant for rebuilding an outdoor deck and retaining wall for safety reasons. This deck serves as a gathering space and provides access to sand volleyball courts. The North Central Ohio Land Conservancy was granted funds to expand its trail by a quarter mile, enhancing the Clear Fork Valley Scenic Trail for hikers in southern Richland County. The Richland Community Development Group received a grant for BrandRichland, a project under the Foundation's Mansfield Rising Plan. BrandRichland is a strategic marketing campaign designed to shift perceptions, build civic pride, and attract new residents, talent and investment to Richland County. The project is now in the implementation phase, launching campaigns that tell a cohesive story about the community. The Board of Trustees also approved grants from donor advised funds, which allow individuals, families, and corporations to suggest grants to their preferred charities. This funding method offers a flexible and convenient alternative to private foundations, allowing for anonymous charitable contributions if desired. The following organizations received grants from donor advised funds: Denison University Discovery School Downtown Mansfield Inc. First Congregational Church of Mansfield Furniture Bank of North Central Ohio Honey from the Rock LLC Love on a Mission Lucas Community Center Mansfield Art Center Mansfield Community Playhouse North Central State College Ohio Bird Sanctuary Pioneer Career Technical Center Pleasant Hill Outdoor Camp Richland Academy of the Arts Richland Carrousel Park Richland Community Development Group Richland Historical Society Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio Shakespeare Company of Mansfield Shalom Christian Missions St. Paul Outreach Center St. Peter's Parish Taking Root Farms Third Street Family Health Services Wayfinders Ohio Wayne Center for the Arts Additionally, the Board of Trustees awarded seven scholarships to students attending career technical education schools.
