Emergency Food and Shelter Program
June 2006

Many thanks to the churches and individuals who answered our call in our Spring Community Quarterly newsletter and our Spring Appeal to help us prepare for the summer. Thanks to the generosity of many, we were able to meet the demands of
a busy month.

On Friday before the July 4th holiday weekend, a single mom asked our program manager if she could come to RCCS twice a month for the summer. She was overwhelmed with the food she needed during the summer for her school age children and thrilled to hear about the Free Lunch program here is Sacramento that supplements the breakfast and lunch programs offered during the school year.

Food drives help us keep food costs down and will be important throughout the summer.
We hope our "friends" remember that "Hunger does not go on vacation," and that they will continue to gather and contribute our primary and high protein food items.
