COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Mid-Ohio Foodbank will be able to go farther for meals, thanks to a donation they received Wednesday, 10TV News reported.

Wal-Mart donated a refrigerated truck, one of 35 vehicles the chain is donating to charities around the country.

"People have lost jobs. People are losing houses. People are struggling, and those people, many of them used to give to the food pantry. And now, they're asking where they can find a food pantry," said Evelyn Behm of the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. 

Mid Ohio said the truck will allow them to go farther to pick up donations and keep the food fresh longer.
