Brayden Thurston, 2, wore a big grin as he toddled behind his mother in line for food.That's because this would be his first meal in days that didn't consist of cold hot dogs, said his mother Jessica Thurston.
The Thurstons were among hundreds who finally received help days after a Sunday wind storm knocked out electrical power and destroyed their food supplies.
The Thurstons, who live in Triangle Mobile Home Park, were reached by a group of volunteers targeting poverty-stricken neighborhoods with the offering of food.
"It's going to help," Jessica Thurston, 20, said with a small smile as she returned to her mother's waiting car with a box of groceries.
Many people who could not afford to refill their pantries after the storm were individually notified of the Food Bank of South Central Michigan handout at Trinity Lutheran Church Friday morning.www.battlecreekenquirer.com/article/20110604/NEWS01/106040314/Food-bank-gives-storm-victims
