The Christmas season has come and gone..... but not the feeling of sharing and love that it leaves in our hearts! As we survey the CFC this week we find it is time once again to "renew the registrations" of our clients and to order food. And we do mean ORDER FOOD! These last few weeks have taken a toll on the supply! We are faced with ordering green veggies, yellow veggies, cereal or oatmeal and mac/cheese. YIKES!!! The shelves are looking very empty! $5000.00 will be gone in a heartbeat! We are grateful to our holiday and end of year donors for their generous gifts. Hopefully these gifts will carry us through the next few months. With the Blount County Food Pantry moving to the county (west) our numbers are expected to increase. Very soon we will have an end of year report and the annual statistics will be shared with you.... they are amazing!
What can YOU do? Sponsor a food drive, tell someone else about this blog or about the CFC, invite us to speak at your civic club or other organization, be in prayer for the CFC or donate funds. Volunteers are always needed as well. Mostly volunteers are needed when there is a large drive and there is much sorting to be done, but there are also other volunteer opportunities.
Our mission is to feed the hungry of Blount County and we can only keep moving forward through donations of food, money and support from the community. There are lots of hungry people out there. Share your resources to help those in need! What a blessing for all!
