Pictured above are volunteers working the produce distribution at Belgrade Avenue United Methodist Church which has been providing the North Mankato Produce Distribution once per month for more than a year now. It all takes place in their parking lot even through the winter regardless of snow, rain or shine. The number of families they serve continue to grow—this month they hit a new high of 190 families served.
