Re-Stocking the Bunny Bunch
Every year at Christmas we get an abundance of shelf staple food donations – things like dry beans, peanut butter, pastas, soups and canned veggies. Last holiday was especially abundant. Every year about this time, we start to run out of our stored donations.
We have approximately 1196 households in our active rotation. That is an increase of 169% from last spring. As client numbers go up, our meat and produce donations from our grocery store partners have declined. We are using all of our supplemental food budget to purchase those higher value items.
What we don’t have budget for right now is the canned veggies. Specifically, peas, corn, collards and carrots. We are asking for your help in stocking the pantry with those four vegetables. These are the items we jokingly refer to as rabbit food.
We can order our essential grains from the Atlanta Community Food Bank. We can purchase seafood and cooking soups by the pallet for a heavily discounted price.
We have plenty of green beans, but we are struggling to stock the Bunny Bunch: peas, corn, collards and carrots.
So, we are asking our donors to hop to it and jump on this spring food drive. Show some bunny a little love and how much you carrot about them.
Our donors are simply bunderful. They are always hare for us.
Sending you hoppy vibes,
