ALBANY, GA -- For Mission Change's August mission, they partnered with the Albany food bank, Second Harvest.

70 volunteers came out to separate and box canned goods that were donated.

Their mission now is to raise money for what they call the manna truck--which will go into underprivileged neighborhoods delivering food.

“We're still looking for donations on that, we're encouraging everyone to sponsor a truck. You don't have to be an agency to come in and sponsor a manna truck with the food bank, you can be an individual, you can be an organization,” said Branch Director Tony Hall.

Each truck will cost around $750.

If you're interested in donating, call Second Harvest at (229) 883-5959 and ask for Tony Hall.
