Food For Families means…

It means my kids get regular fresh fruits and vegetables they normally wouldn’t get.
It is very helpful for our family. It provides us with fresh fruits and veggies that we love and helps us stretch food out longer. It also provides extra snacks for my kids to take to school for daily snack. It also helps us to save money for us to use to pay bills, etc. Thanks!
Everything
It allows me to provide food for my family when I don’t have enough money or food to provide myself.
We wouldn’t make it through the month without it.
It means that we can eat more at home instead of going to the shelter to eat all the times.

“If you can’t feed a hundred,
then feed just one.”
