Rural Food Program Update
RURAL FOOD PROGRAM UPDATE for JANUARY 2020
On January 14 we welcomed 94 families representing 129 adults, 42 children and 39 seniors for a total of 210 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.
In January and February, Rural Food clients are invited to participate in a
survey regarding our service and the groceries and produce that we provide
each month. This will enable us to continue to make improvements in this
vital ministry as our parish enters a fourth decade of service in the Rural
Food Program.
This program is made possible though the generous donation of time by our tireless volunteers. We are so thankful to have their support each month to help transport over 4000 pounds of food products from the Redwood Empire Food Bank for distribution to our clients. Please continue to collect paper and reusable grocery bags especially with handles, and clean egg cartons. We are looking into biodegradable produce bags for our clients.
