Hunger, Summer and this week

Just a few more weeks and it's officially summer!  I don't know about everyone else but my kids have already asked to break out their swimsuits and Gavin asks regularly "When does the pool open?"  Soon, Buddy, really soon!  


Hunger doesn't end just because summer comes though.  In fact, for many families summer is even more stressful.  During the school year some of the stress is relieved by the food program at school.  Lunches come free or at a reduced price for many... but not in the summer.  Because of this we will continue working to help our families throughout the summer.  

A few weeks ago a friend emailed me about watching this documentary and I highly recommend taking the time to watch it:

Forms will be going home and any of our families that choose to participate in the summer program will be able to continue receiving food over the summer.  Our friends will not go hungry!

For this week, these are the items that we need to receive by Wednesday afternoon:

20 individual boxes of cereal

23 cans of chili

15 cans of beefaroni

13 envelopes of easy mac

6 cans of green beans

14 nutragrain bars

24 apples, oranges or pears

Have a blessed week everyone!
