Coming to Benton Harbor this month will be the famous Veggie Van. It’s a mobile food pantry that distributes fresh fruits and vegetables to anyone who wants them, and it’s offered thanks to a partnership between Spectrum Health and the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids. Spectrum Health Lakeland tells us the van will be at the Benton Harbor Public Library on East Wall Street on Thursday, August 20 from noon to 4 p.m. Those who stop by are asked to stay in their vehicle as the service is drive-thru. The goal of the program is to ensure fruits and vegetables are available to people who otherwise have limited access to fresh produce.
