Healthy Food Initiative Ensures Good Nutrition for Those who Need it Most
For several years we have had a healthy food initiative in place
that focuses our efforts on procuring and distributing the most nutritious balance of foods for the hungry, particularly children and the elderly. Our emphasis on produce, for example, has resulted in a 5,000% increase since 2003 in the volume of fresh fruits and vegetables distributed. In the area of protein, we aggressively seek out peanut butter, canned meats, and other quality sources. And one reason we're building a new Community Kitchen (see left) is so we can utilize much greater amounts of healthy fresh foods available for donation from grocery stores and others.
Community Drop Sites Make Contributing Food Convenient
We have many community food collection sites to make it even easier for donors to contribute nonperishable food for the hungry. The sites are listed here.
