Robert Edmaiston said he did not know much about the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community group until he went to a food pantry they hosted Saturday at a Zion mosque.
Edmaiston, who was one of nearly 500 people to get food during the two-hour event, received two grocery bags that included fresh produce and pastries.
"This is nice of them, and for me it's very helpful," according to Edmaiston, who said he takes care of his disabled parents.
