Community Food Network
Helping to Feed Local Families in Need
Fresh fruits and vegetables grown in local community gardens are distributed to families in need through local food pantries, soup kitchens, and other distribution resources. Volunteers pick up produce from the gardens, sort and package the produce into family size portions and deliver it to food pantries. Food pantries then distribute the available produce to clients who need help. Other distribution resources include the Food Truck run by Feeding America and local Soup Kitchens.
The Community Food Network Planning Committee meets on the last Tuesday of the month at 3:30PM at the H.O. Steele Education Center!
Tune in to WION Radio during the Wednesday Morning PB&J Show to hear the Vegetable Song of the Week!

What Is Plant a Row for the hungry?
Launched in 1995 by the Garden Writers Association (GWA), Plant A Row for the Hungry is a people-helping-people program that encourages gardeners to grow a little extra and donate the produce to local soup kitchens and food pantries serving the homeless and hungry in their local communities.
The Need Is Great
Over 36 million Americans live in households that experience hunger or the risk of hunger daily.
Almost 14 million people facing hunger each day are children.
1-in-8 Americans face hunger daily.

He is quite the hunter, however, so he needs a home without cats, birds, or small furry animals. If you are interested, Please submit an adoption application ASAP!
Visit Grand River Rover Rescue for more information. If you are interested in this pet please fill out an application today.
