Free food, batteries and light bulbs to be given away Saturday in North Jackson
Where can you get free food, free rechargeable batteries and chargers, and LED light bulbs this Saturday? North Jackson.
The giveaway starts at 8:30 am at the First Federated Church, 10786 Mahoning Ave.
The church’s food pantry, Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard, typically provides groceries. This month, they are also distributing rechargeable batteries and chargers, and LED bulbs using funds donated by Aptiv.
“We all use rechargeable batteries daily in our mobile devices,” says church pastor, Jack Acri, “but think of all the things we use expensive disposable batteries for: from toys to TV remotes to emergency flashlights. Replacing disposable with rechargeable reduces costs. Plus everyone knows LED bulbs last longer and save on electricity, thus allowing more room in the budget for necessities.”
Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard food pantry at the church is a Second Harvest affiliate.
