Last year the 4th Annual Joint Event raised $10,000 and 600 pounds of food for the Inter-Fatih Food Shuttle. Like many non profits, they're needing to raise more money to help the increasing number of people in distress due to tough economic times.
91,000 children in the Greater Triangle are on the free or reduced school lunch program- 10,000 more than last year.
Family budgets and cupboards that are already stretched thin during turbulent economic times are now faced with the added pressure of providing wholesome nutritious food for their children three or more times a day- meals they used to eat at school.
Inter-Faith Food Shuttle can help provide wholesome nutritious food for these additional 10,000 children. The Inter-Faith Food Shuttle needs to raise $200,000 this summer- that’s just $20 per child! They can meet this need through:
• Mobile Markets with free deliveries to low income neighborhoods
• Summer Lunch Program in housing authority communities
• Community Gardens that offer fresh fruits and vegetables just steps from their door.
The Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is on the front lines of this need and will work hard all through the hot summer because Hunger Is Unacceptable.
