Food SECURITY<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Charles<\/p>\n

There are many things in this world we need to feel secure about, but it does not dawn on the average person that there are neighbors, family and friends who are not food secure, and they would never know. It is second nature to say, \u201cI\u2019m going home to eat;\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s go out and eat tonight,\u201d \u201cWhere are we eating tonight?\u201d For many, those questions are NEVER or rarely posed.<\/p>\n

I returned to The Center in the role of Director, Food Security to hopefully make sure that, at least, the statement \u201cI\u2019m going home to eat\u201d can be made. Food has been there for every major event in my life; joy, pain, sorrow, celebration, comfort and most of all nutrition. It was my mother\u2019s profession and passion, and through inherited DNA and taught commitment, serving food is now my passion.<\/p>\n

The fulfilment in knowing you helped someone along the way to a better week, month, year \u2013 LIFE – you rest easier at night. Knowing that you helped a senior have food for the rest of the week\/month because social security isn\u2019t enough, that you got an unhoused individual food they can have immediately or that a food bank card has been returned because the client has risen to the next level and no longer needs our services. It is a gift that makes you smile brighter, lift your head higher and have the strength, compassion, passion and empathy to do it again and again\u2026 A gift you can only be thankful for.<\/p>\n

There is no reason why anyone should have to be without basic food in these Unites States of America, yet it is so. It is us empathetic, good humans who are our brother\u2019s keeper. Assisting, referring, listening and creating community for those who have none or are perceived as not having community. The Community Food Bank does this weekly; client community, volunteer community, pet community, work community, non-profit community, all making this FOOD Community fun, passionate, committed and resourceful. Weeping endures for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.<\/p>\n


Join us in joy by donating, volunteering, or spreading the word that the Community Food Bank is here to assist, bigger & better than ever before!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
