Members of Spruance’s Young Professionals Network (YPN) recently volunteered at a World U.P. Foundation Mobile Food Pantry build. The volunteers helped construct a mobile food pantry by fitting a trailer with a refrigeration unit, shelving and ample storage for fresh fruits and vegetables.

When the mobile food pantry is attached to a truck it can transport fresh produce to different locations in the Richmond area to increase food security and the community’s access to nutrient-rich foods.

The World U.P. Foundation is based in Richmond, Virginia and is focused on promoting peaceful diversity and universal understanding by improving access to cross-cultural education and experiences.

In 2019 World U.P. received a grant for its work in providing fresh produce to the hungry in the Richmond, Virginia area from the Spruance site.
