Rural Food Program Update 2014
On May 13 we welcomed 114 families representing 154 adults, 65 children and 46 seniors for a total of 265 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.
As summer nears, we are always grateful for “extra hands” to assist us—please spread the word! Ursula Davila serves as the Outreach Coordinator for the Rural Food Project at Catholic Charities. She is present every month to help our Rural Food clients access services provided by Charities in addition to our program. Catholic Charities has secured a grant that includes a new service to our site----in June, July and August there will be a series of “nutrition classes” to help our clients prepare healthier meals.
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.
RURAL FOOD VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Monday, June 9 from 12:30 – 2:30pm to set up the Parish Hall.
Tuesday, June 10 from 8:30 – 11:00am to distribute the food and assist clients. We need more volunteers on Tuesday to help our clients and their loaded grocery carts to their vehicles.
Celebrating twenty five years of service in 2013, our Rural Food Program of St. Philip and St. Teresa Parish has provided nutritious groceries to individuals and families that are in need. Read more.
