Summer
Garden Veggies
Local friends, many of whom also receive a hand
from Fair Haven Concerned, GIVE a hand sharing their home-grown vegetables
at our Wednesday food distributions.
Squash and Potatoes
Folks with gardens dedicate sections of their
plots to grow squash and potatoes to share with their neighbors through our
food shelf.
Non-perishable
Foods
Many folks regularly contribute food for other
folks, cereals, canned foods or frozen items to go in our freezer. Your gifts
are ready on the shelf when your neighbor needs that waiting hand.
Surplus
Products:
Many food producers donate surplus production,
overstocks, or close-out lines to our food shelf. See the growing list below.
Money
to Buy Food:
A number of people of all ages and situations
give monthly or seasonally so that fresh foods can be purchased for hungry
folks, and low stocks of food can be replaced so no one needs to go hungry.
Prepare/
Serve Child's Lunches
People in our area volunteer their time one
or more days a week during the ten weeks of our Summer Nutrition Program to
prepare lunches for the children - with love - knowing that those little children
will have healthy growing bodies and minds thanks to their efforts.
Make
Cookies - Summer
Some good bakers love to make fresh desert treats for the children to go on
the sharing table at the lunch site. perhaps your would like to be one of
them?
Help with Thanksgiving Dinner:
Food without friends is pretty empty. At Thanksgiving time many people in our area bring their friends or families to our Community Thanksgiving Dinner sponsored with the Fair Haven Eagles. For several years lots of groups have worked together to gather food, prepare and serve it, deliver meals, and make a community-building time together. Will you plan to help and share Thanksgiving with our neighbors?
