Crooked Creek Food Pantry
Crooked Creek Food Pantry wants to thank our friends at St. Luke’s UMC for sharing their time and talent. It has been a sizzling summer, plus we are serving more neighbors – around 1,200 to 1,300 families each week. This is about 20% more than this time last year. Glad to have such good friends as you!!
Recently, CCFP has been able to offer an option between culturally tailored food items and traditional canned goods. CCFP received a grant used to purchase items requested by community members, including rice, beans, and spices. Individuals may choose between rice, beans, and spices or traditional canned goods such as fruit, vegetables, and protein. To date, approximately 60% have selected rice, beans, and spices. The “choice tent” is a popular volunteer activity as it provides direct neighbor engagement. It is a win-win!
If you, or someone you know, are interested in volunteering at CCFP, please check out our opportunities here. We need 150 volunteers each week. Thank you for considering CCFP, a community gem and resource!
