Rural Food Program Update 2014
On November 11 we welcomed 121 families representing 166 adults, 72 children and 48 seniors for a total of 286 people receiving nutritional support. This program is funded through the Rural Food Collection on the last Sunday of each month as well as through private donations and the generous support of our volunteers.
Please continue to collect grocery bags with handles, plastic shopping bags for produce, and egg cartons. We are looking into biodegradable produce bags and recyclable grocery bags for our clients.
Much of our food is provided by Redwood Empire Food Bank. We received the following report from Redwood Empire Food Bank (REFB): For the period of July 2013 through June 2014, our Rural Food Program acquired 101,042 lbs. of food including 27,053 lbs. of fresh produce with an estimated value of $93,975. Our total fees paid to the REFB were $16,853, saving our program $77,122! For every $1, we receive an estimated $5.58 value. Thank you to the Redwood Empire Food Bank for making our program possible!
