Food 4 Families Project
Gather a group to collect food, pack boxes, and deliver to The Branch. Purchase boxes or repurpose boxes and assemble items, aiming for 3-4 days of food. Register your project and let us know when you will drop if off. Drop off times are Mon, Tues, Fri 9AM-1PM, or Sat 9AM-11AM. Closed on Thursdays.
Here is a suggested list of food items but feel free to substitute:
- Rice
- Pasta
- Tuna
- Lentils
- Peanut butter
- Tomato sauce
- Canned veggies
Consider adding a $20 grocery store gift card to purchase meat and produce.
Use this opportunity to teach children about hunger needs.
- Imagine going to school without breakfast or not having dinner before you go to bed tonight.
- Some kids may feel tired or sad because they didn’t have enough to eat.
- 1 out of 5 children don’t have enough to eat
Have children draw pictures or write notes of prayer, encouragement, or love. Consider attaching these to a goodie bag, pack of gum, or candy bar. Treats like this make people smile!
