Meijer Simply Give Program
Meijer is sponsoring the Simply Give Program Sunday, July 3, 2022 - Saturday October 1, 2022. On 9/10, for every $10 Simply Give card your purchase, Meijer will donate a contribution of an additional $20, bringing the total of your donation to $30. During any other day during the campaign, Meijer will be adding an additional $10 making your donation equal $20.
School Lunches
Some of the schools are not offering free lunch. We will be continuing the lunch program during the school year. Any food donations for this program will be truly awesome. Some ideas are: Spaghetti-O’s, Spaghetti with meatballs, Beef Ravioli, snacks (chips, Rice Krispie treats, etc.), cereal, and microwaveable meals.
Pantry News
Food drives and donations are more important now than ever. The food supplement program was cut by 42%. This has been a huge impact on our supply. Couple that with inflation, recession, and food shortages, and the food drives and donations become even more of a priority.
To give you an idea of how much food is going out of the pantry monthly: A Mac truck with 18 wheels and a semi-trailer can carry up to 23 tons in the trailer. That is 46,000 pounds of food. We distribute monthly 48,000 pounds of food. That is 1 Ton (2,000 pounds) more food than fits in that semi.
We are fast approaching that time of year when the Holidays come. Thanksgiving is around the corner and then Christmas. Please, keep that in mind when you see a good sale or are deciding what non-profit you want to give your end of year donation to.
