This was the second year the two organisations have joined together at Second Ebenezer Baptist Church to bring assistance to Motown’s families in need.
This year, PepsiCo teamed with Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club and Associated Food and Petroleum Dealers to bring more food and fresh produce to the families.
The Vanguard Community Development Corporation identified the families in need of assistance. The items received at this outreach will provide a family of four with enough food for at least a week.
The distribution is part of Feed The Children’s Americans Feeding Americans Caravan, which has helped more than 270,000 families across the country since it began in 2009.
Tony Sellars, spokesperson for Feed The Children, said: “Our Americans Feeding Americans project is geared toward families who for the first time in their lives have not been able to provide for their families. Their tremendous support brings relief at a crucial time for Detroit families affected by the economic downturn.”
