Rural Food Program Update for October 2019
RURAL FOOD PROGRAM UPDATE for OCTOBER 2019
NOTE: We still need more blankets to distribute on Nov. 12.
On October 8 we welcomed 99 families representing 139 adults, 42 children, and 37 seniors for a total of 218 people receiving nutritional support.
During Fiscal Year 2019 the St. Philip/St. Teresa Rural Food Program acquired over 96,000 pounds of food from the Redwood Empire Food Bank. We purchased additional food, eggs, and produce from our local community. This represents the equivalent of over 80,000 meals.
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 and dedication of our dedicated volunteers.
Please continue to collect paper grocery bags with handles and clean egg cartons. We are very pleased that our clients and parishioners are recycling grocery bags. This action helps reduce our costs.
Thank you for your continued generous support of this program.
