FEED THE FAMILY PANTRY

Feed the Family has expanded it’s reach to address food insecurity throughout the DC Metro area by working in partnership with area schools, universities, community based organizations, religious institutions and neighborhood groups to host food and cleaning supply drives to support 2 new pantries that have opened in NW DC. With more people living on fixed incomes, especially seniors, the crisis of food insecurity continues to increase in Ward 3!

Last year, one pantry provided grocery bags to 85 families once a week. Last week, this same pantry provided 175 grocery bags to neighbors in need. This pantry and many others are being challenged to secure enough food donations and resources to meet the growing crisis of food insecurity in the DC Metro area. According to the Capital Area Food Bank, “more than 1 million people in our area are food insecure and 1/3 of them are children.”

Please be generous. If your organization, neighborhood, school or community group would like to host a food/cleaning supply drive to support one of the new pantries, please contact Barbara at ferrisbacm@yahoo.com
