Idaho Food Bank Partner Agency - First United Methodist Church

On the 2nd & last Sunday of each month, from  7:30am-10:00am, the First United Methodist Church holds a community breakfast. All are invited. They even send a van around to pick up folks who want to attend but don't have transportation to get there. Today, while we were working, two ladies came to pick up food for the breakfast: eggs, milk, juice, bread, bacon and today three flats of strawberries!  The ladies said others in the church cook up a few breakfast casseroles, serve it with bacon or sausage, juice, milk, coffee and various breads and donuts and pastries.  They supplement what the food bank can't provide.  This is just one example of where the food from the food bank goes.

Strawberries!

 













Bread & Pastries.

Postal Service Food Drive  
Tomorrow, the Postal Service is sponsoring a food drive.  The food they pickup will  be delivered to the food bank. sorted an packaged and then delivered to the partner agencies. The food bank, while not a recipient of the donated food, none the less is lending a hand to coordinate the effort, providing it's facility, know how and resources.  Our group helped out by taping hundreds of boxes in preparation for the food coming in tomorrow.
