Food Bank
We invite you to sow food, clothing, toys; school supplies and household items. The purpose of the Food Bank is to assist single parent families who are living within a low income bracket as a means of helping them maintain their household for a six month period, unless it is otherwise determined by a follow up evaluation that their status requires more time. By providing the basic essentials of everyday life such as nutritious food; clothing and school supplies, we endeavor to give these families the advantage of offsetting their bills thereby providing better housing for their children.
The Food Bank program will also look into providing families with training and financial counseling, so that the purpose of the program will not become a “crutch” thereby defeating its purpose and creating a program that is misused and abused. There is an old Chinese proverb which says, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Therefore, one of the objectives of this project will be to teach families how to save while providing them with a jumpstart during the training process. Each family will be evaluated to determine the duration of their membership in the program.
