Subject: Important Updates and Appreciation for Your Efforts
I hope this note finds you all well and thriving. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your continued dedication and support in our mission to combat hunger. Your efforts truly make a significant difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors.
I'm thrilled to share some exciting news regarding our recent food procurement efforts. Don Terry, our CHFB Food Solicitor, has been tirelessly working to secure donations for all of us serving as hunger champions. You may have already noticed on the online menu that Don was successful in collaborating with a food bank in Illinois to procure a generous donation of Bob Evans products. We're hopeful for the possibility of receiving additional donations in the future, thanks to Don's diligent efforts.
Effective February 8, 2024:
Issuance of “new” Community Cupboard vouchers: We are pleased to announce that Community Cupboard vouchers can now be issued for up to 100 lbs., doubling the previous limit we had in place during the holiday season. This expansion will enable us to provide even more support for those in need.
Placing an online food order: Additionally, to ensure fairness and equity in our food distribution, we have established some guidelines for ordering protein. Each order may consist of:
- 100 lbs. of chicken and 50 lbs. of additional meat products, including items like Bob Evans sausage.
These guidelines will help us effectively manage our resources and ensure that everyone receives a fair share of protein.
Once again, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to each one of you for your dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to our cause. Together, we will continue to make a positive impact and provide essential support to those who need it most.
Thank you for being invaluable partners in this journey.
