RURAL FOOD PROGRAM UPDATE for MARCH 2017 On March 14 we welcomed 100 families representing 146 adults, 44 children, and 33 seniors for a total of 223 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. Thanks to a grant from the Frietas Family Foundation we were able to purchase two 22 cubic feet chest freezers that are located in the basement of the rectory. These units are energy efficient and will enable us to purchase more frozen protein items and prepared meals for our Rural Food clients. We need more volunteers on Monday to help unload our storeroom and delivery truck as well as set up the Parish Hall for the Tuesday distribution. Also help is needed on Tuesday to help our clients and their loaded grocery carts to their vehicles. Please continue to collect paper grocery bags, especially with handles, and egg cartons. We are looking into biodegradable produce bags and recyclable grocery bags for our clients.
