When filling plates means more than just food

What does this food mean to you? That’s the question Food Gatherers posed to individuals receiving fresh fruits and vegetables at our produce distribution this fall. In a season that is ripe with giving and receiving, we wanted to share these simple and profound words of thanks from men, women and children who are grateful that you gather with us. Thank you, thank you for fighting hunger where we live.

"We need you"

"My visits here enable our family to keep our heads above water. It makes the difference between Hungry and Full!"

"Food Gatherers means the difference of going hungry or not. Without these wonderful people I would not be able to survive. Thank you for your continued support."

"This program is a life saver for people out of work and money, they at least have a way to feed their children."

"Grateful"

"Thank's so much. May God bless us all. Peace and Love."

"Happy people with food"

"Hope. Making it through the month. Kids not going hungry"

"Prayer, love, help,kindnesss, laughter, health,new friends."

"My Husband isn't working. I'm on disability, it means a lot to me."

"If not for this Food Gathers, I may not have survived."

"This program is wonderful for families in need and needs to be commended for what they do. Keep it open."

" I cannot express my gratitude when I see your truck pull up. My son is now 13 and it has saved our lives. I hope to be in a better position soon as I would donate my time." I

"Your program helps me."
