Are you hungry? Do you know someone who is hungry?

Food Movers is a volunteer program where they host a mobile food drive every month. Members of University Lutheran Church in East Lansing volunteer with the University United Methodist Church and the Greater Lansing Food Bank to give food to those facing financial hardship once/month. The Ingham County Animal Control & Shelter joined this month's food drive to hand out pet food.
