On Monday, January 6th, Back Bay Mission worked to combat community hunger through a Mobile Food Pantry benefiting our neighbors in Biloxi.
Despite the biting wind and freezing temperatures, our team of staff and volunteers bundled up, braved the weather, and got to work.
With helping hands from mission groups all the way from Indiana and Connecticut, we tackled eleven pallets of food donated by Feeding the Gulf Coast and Rouses Market. Together, we sorted fresh produce, canned goods, and pantry staples—essentials that would mean the world to the 176 families we served that day.
At Back Bay Mission, we believe that no one should face hunger alone. Events like this Mobile Food Bank remind us of the incredible power of community—when we come together, we can do so much more than share a meal. We share compassion, dignity, and a belief in better days ahead.
Thank you to our amazing staff, incredible volunteers from First Church of Christ, Gastonbury UCC, partners like Feeding the Gulf Coast and Coastal Family Health, and everyone who made this possible!
This is what “good trouble” looks like. 💛
