SOUTH BEND — A local store came to the rescue today helping the Northern Indiana Food Bank which is in desperate need this holiday season.

The Meijer store on S.R. 331 donated a truckload of goods to the food bank.

Soup kitchens and pantries from around the area will take advantage of the generous contribution.

There were 15 loads of food packed onto the truck.

"They heard that supplies were low and here it is the holiday season and what better time to rescue us from surplus, you know foods not being available so we are excited," said Dennis Brown, Food Bank Director.

The Food Bank says they're always in need of food like canned goods, dairy products, and fresh fruit.
