It’s an election year. I will never forget this letter that came in all the Farmers to Families food boxes we were giving out during Covid times. 501(c)3’s are neutral by incorporation politically. We pulled them from the boxes in order to protect our status as a non profit food pantry.

These boxes were created to save jobs for food brokers and purchase food from farmers and also to change how government food commodities are distributed. The gov’t used to directly distribute food to the food bank system. Trump took some of these foods to give to those brokers

The food system has never been the same. Less is received from gov’t sources to this day. If you can, donate to your local pantries so they can purchase what they need to feed your neighbors. Our Pantry is up 187% ( that is not a typo!) our neighbors are becoming permanent clients. You can help
