“It’s not just food; it’s nourishment,” Mr. Richard said. “OneGenAway is bringing life.”

If you’ve driven through our Mobile Pantry, chances are you’ve met Tori. Tori is our Communications Manager, and when she’s not hiding behind a camera, she’s out making friends with our neighbors who come to us to receive food.
When you come to our Mobile Pantry regularly, you notice when a person keeps showing up. In Waverly, Steve is one of those people.
OneGenAway is excited to partner with Feed My Starving Children for a combined Mobile Pantry and MobilePack event that will feed families both locally and internationally on Saturday, Sept. 24.
“We are here to love those who come to us, to serve them, and make them feel important,” said Adrienne Pelletier, our Florida Intern (and soon-to-be Florida Manager).
