Food bank will receive new refrigerated truck

The Southeast Missouri Food Bank will receive a new refrigerated truck for handling perishable foods, thanks to a donation from the Walmart Foundation's Missouri State Giving Program.

The truck, to be purchased with a $45,000 grant, will allow the Cape Girardeau-based food bank to distribute more donated food throughout the region, Karen Green, executive director of the food bank, said in a news release announcing the gift.

The grant was presented while Walmart employees helped pack food to be distributed through the food bank.
