Food Thoughts

The seeds are in the ground and thanks to the recent rain we are seeing sprouts bursting forth. We are excited about our garden this year. Wilson Perry, one of our phase 3 residents, has been hard at work with John Haverstock these past few weeks.

We look forward to seeing the produce forming and then harvesting in a few weeks. We plan to add these food items to the food boxes we give away on a daily basis. If you would like to participate in helping us with our garden this year please feel free to get in touch with me: director@umrr.org . There is always much to do and we surely could use your help.

On another food subject, I am pleased to report that The Emergency Food Assistance Program is well under way. Many are receiving the food they need and we are grateful for this opportunity to assist the NC Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC. To learn more about the program contact Melissa Manning at: melissa@umrr.org.

Thank you to the many volunteers who helped us with our recent food distribution. We were able to make 250 families happy with a 50 pound food box. We are grateful to WMU of North Carolina for their help in supplying volunteers for the distribution.
