FOOD DRIVES
Many organizations, churches, schools,
businesses, and more choose to help the food
bank each year through organizing food
drives among their members. Oftentimes this
coincides with the holidays, but many times
it does not. After all, people are hungry
365 days a year, not just over the holidays.

The mission of the United
Way Community Food Bank is to serve people
in need by securing and storing surplus food
and household items and distributing it
through local partnering service agencies. |
|
|
|
|
The United Way Community Food Bank is always
looking for new and different ways to
implement programs in our service area. This
year, our focus is on a pilot backpack
program with a local elementary school, and
on the continuance of our highly popular
Turkey Purchasing Holiday Program. |

BACKPACK PROGRAM
The United Way Food Bank is partnering
with a local Title 1 Elementary school and a
partner agency to implement a pilot
backpacking program for the 2008-2009 school
year. This program will begin with the start
of the school year at Green Valley
Elementary School in Hoover. With the
support of school administration, as well as
the volunteer help of Green Valley Baptist
Church’s Pantry volunteers, the backpack
program will provide healthy nutritious
options for children on the weekends and
holidays that otherwise might not have such
food available.Upon successful completion
of the program, the Food Bank anticipates
expanding the program to include other
schools and partnering service agencies.

TURKEY PURCHASING HOLIDAY PROGRAM
During previous Thanksgiving seasons a
few agencies contacted the Food Bank about
purchasing additional turkeys at cost. This
year we will be able to once again provide
this service to member agencies.
Listed below are the guidelines for
purchasing additional Thanksgiving turkeys.
This will in no way affect the regular
turkeys distributed by the Food Bank for
Thanksgiving. However, if you do need
additional turkeys it will save you the time
of purchasing these yourself.• Minimum
order of 5 cases required (4 turkeys per
case, 10-12 lbs. per bird). Case weight:
approx. 44-48 lbs.
• Price per pound will be .78/lb. (a case
will cost approximately $38)
• Order form must be completed and returned
to the Food Bank no later than September 2,
2008.
• Product will be invoiced separately and
must be paid within 10 days of pickup.
• Product will be available for pickup at
the Food Bank beginning November 2008.
• Turkeys will be basted, netted, and have a
popup thermometer.
• Please call or stop by the Food Bank for
an Order Form.
