Things at the Community Food Connection are buzzing right along. March brought us a record number of clients and the need to purchase food yet again. Now that April has arrived another food purchase has been necessary. We are looking forward to the May Postal Worker's Food Drive with much anticipation!
This month two new board members were welcomed and the search continues for at least two more. An Open House is planned for our many contributors and agencies that work with the CFC throughout the year. The Open House will be held on Tuesday April 29th from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm. The board is quickly trying to get things in order to welcome our guests. It will be a great way to show our "Friends' just how donations are put to good use. Even the front door has been painted (thanks Lynn!) to make things even more welcoming.
As the job market in Blount County shifts the CFC finds new clients need help each and every month. Food supplies are tight and much of our food budget for the year has already been spent. More food drives are needed.
The CFC has been most blessed to receive FEMA funds for the first time. Those have not yet been deposited and there will be extra paper work involved but the board is most grateful to be trusted in this process.
Remember us when you go to the grocery..... a few extra cans will make a difference to another family. Please help the CFC to feed the hungry in Blount county.
