Prairie Five Meals sites program is running full swing

Prairie Five Meals has gone through some changes over the last handful of years. They were able to purchase their first hot cold truck in 2018 after the Prairie Five Meals board approved the purchase, with the truck being put to use starting in 2019. This hot cold truck helped Prairie Five Meals distribute more food to rural and remote areas. Erick Hedon, who runs the meal program for Prairie Five, said, “We were now able to deliver hot, cold, frozen and shelf stable meals to older adults who live in the small towns and still on the farm sites.” Hedon also reflected on how their hot cold truck was able to really help during the pandemic and in 2020 Prairie Five Meals purchased a second hot cold truck that Hedon said was funded by a grant. This has helped the program deliver more meals.
