• FROM Expands Food Pantry Services to Fill Community Gaps (lowellsfirstlook.com) — Flat River Outreach Ministries in Lowell has expanded its food pantry service area, allowing all residents in 49331 and nearby Ada, Alto, and Forest Hills zones to shop twice a month. The 12‑month pilot aims to fill “dead zone” gaps where no pantry existed, while seeking new partners like those already supporting FROM in Lowell. Clients choose their own groceries, with unlimited fresh produce and personalized support.
