Our February charity is the Redmond School Break Food Box Program .
Redmond School Break Program delivers food "boxes" directly to families. Each box is worth between $55 to $75 dollars. Every box includes fresh produce and shelf ready items with expiration dates that are not going to expire for months. The box is a "supplemental" box which in theory should offer enough food for a family of 4 for four to five days. It is not a single box but an "A" box, "B" box and a bag of produce and 5 to 10 lb of potatoes. (See attached photo of this Saturday's deliveries).
Every donated dollar goes toward feeding families. Our donation buys:
· *Fresh Produce (e.g. onions, carrots, peppers, garlic, broccoli, potatoes, oranges, bananas, etc.)
· Shelf-stable Goods (e.g. cereal, pancake mix, peanut butter, rice, pasta, diced tomatoes, canned fruit and vegetables, crackers, etc.)
· $25 Grocery Cards (if funding allows)
· Packing Supplies (Clean boxes, Ziploc bags and grocery bags)
· Volunteer Hygiene Products (Hand Sanitizer, Clorox Wipes, gloves)
*Offering fresh produce is our highest priority, as it can be easily customized to meet cultural preferences and adds important nutrition to any meal.
Mission Statement:
We believe no person should ever go to bed, to school, or to work hungry; we know children learn better when they are fed, families function better when their needs are met, and engaged communities are powerful. The Redmond School Break Food Box Program’s primary goals are to offer nutrition and hope to families experiencing food insecurity and to create a caring community where all people feel safe, valued, and important.
Butterflies, we are donating to the School Break Program (Redmond United Methodist Church is the 501c3). If you opt in to pay the "fees" then 100% of your donation will go to the program.
