Bigger building is needed by Community Food Connection

Great article in The Daily Times about the fundraising drive for a larger building.

"Larry Ladd, special projects director for CFC, said the Food Connection board did not want to use money from the food account for the building. The shoe boxes are a way to collect for the building fund through tax-deductible donations while raising awareness about CFC.

The shoe box campaign is the first phase of the fundraising effort. The initial goal is to raise around $3,000. The second phase will involve corporate donations. The building fund will need close to $20,000 to cover the move, including new equipment, computer and a doubling of the rent currently being paid.

Ladd said all money donated to CFC goes toward client services.

To contribute, send a donation to Community Food Connection of Blount County, P.O. Box 786, Alcoa, TN 37701. Designate it for the building fund."
