Vacation Time? Not for Hunger

Summer Vacation is almost upon us and our thoughts turn to barbeques, family reunions, and get-aways. It is not a natural time to think about food drives and stocking shelves. However, the summer months are very difficult for families living at or under the poverty level. When schools close their doors for the summer, children can not participate in thee School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. Although a wonderful Free Lunch Program operates in our county, it is more difficult for families to access it and make sure their children receive a nutritious meal. When it is difficult to put food on the table, we know more families will turn to River City Community Services for help.

Help us stock our shelves in anticipation of increased numbers of clients. Organize a food drive in your church, mosque, synagogue, gym, or place of business. Make a monetary donation. We especially need the following:

Peanut Butter
(16 oz)
Tuna
(6 oz)
Pork & Beans
(16oz)
Vegetables

Ramen

Tomatoes
(16 oz)
Fruits
