Interfaith Council shelter pantry
written on November 3rd, 2010
My monthly job: Unloading the food truck which comes from Durham.
We usually get 7-8 pallets of canned food (corn, beans, potatoes, soup, etc.) and a lot of frozen chickens!
What I’ve learned from this job:
- The IFC serves 3,300 local households and provides approximately 1600 bags of groceries per month to families in need.
- They do so with very little governmental assistance – - roughly 1/10 of the IFC’s operating budget.
- The organization is staffed by an incredible team of people dedicated to serving the needs of our town’s most disadvantaged citizens. I am proud to know and work with these folks.
