The SEMO foodbank has partnered with Cape Girardeau VFW Post 3838 to run a mobile food pantry on the second Tuesday of each month at 1049 N Kingshighway St. The service starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends when supplies run out, offering local veterans nutritious items like canned goods—fruits and vegetables—and requiring no preregistration.
