Rural Food Program Update for October 2019
RURAL FOOD PROGRAM UPDATE for NOVEMBER 2019
“I feel like I matter here” a Rural Food client told one of our volunteers as he helped her to her car.
A volunteer offered assistance to a woman standing in the middle of the hall during food distribution this week. The woman explained she was a local resident, had heard about the Rural Food Program and came by to see what it was all about. With a smile she said, ” I’m just feeling all the love in this room.”
Over 100 warm blankets, quilts, comforters and sleeping bags were distributed to our clients this month. Thank you to all who donated to this endeavor.
On November 12, we welcomed 122 families who received nutritional support. Our clients continue to express appreciation for our service and we expect that Rural Food will continue to serve more clients in the coming months. The
Program is able to continue efforts to end hunger in our area because of funds received from the Rural Food Collection on the last Sunday of each month, private donations and the very generous support of our dedicated volunteers.
Please continue to collect paper grocery bags with handles and clean egg cartons for use during food distribution.
Thank you for your continued generous support of this program.
