RURAL FOOD PROGRAM UPDATE for JULY 2018 On July 10 we welcomed 100 families representing 179 adults, 34 children and 42 seniors for a total of 255 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.
Summer months at Rural Food provide an opportunity for students, visiting grandchildren and families to join us
