Listen to the interview with John Curtis “At the beginning of the pandemic we were averaging about 150 households throughout McDonough County that we were delivering to once a week. And now we’re up around 220 households,” Curtis said. He said the delivery service is especially beneficial for people who are required to shelter-in-place. He said it also benefits people who are “…living at rates of poverty that are hard to imagine in a first world country.” Curtis said every house receives milk, sliced bread, and frozen meat. Eggs are also included most weeks. He said the amount delivered to each home depends on how many people live there. He said Genesis Garden has been getting much of the food from the River Bend Foodbank in Davenport and Midwest Food Bank in Peoria.
