Hello Everyone-

I hope this e-mail finds you all happy and healthy.  I just wanted to let everyone know about a project that I’ve been working on and need your help to spread the word to everyone you know.  Several of us have be given the opportunity to bring a food pantry to Edgewood.  Roadrunner Food Bank is selling us the food and we will distribute it on September 24th from 5:00-7:00 pm to anyone needing help.  I’ve attached the flier.  If you know of anyone that might benefit from this program, please let them know.  I’m also asking for help passing the flier out or distributing it to businesses or churches.  I won’t be able to hit every church or business and I know they will be a valuable resource in reaching families that can benefit from the pantry. This month, we will have enough food to feed 100 families.

A little bit about the program:
We are paying $.05 a pound to Roadrunner for distribution costs.
$125 will buy 2500 pounds of food, allowing 50 families to receive 50 pounds of food each.
There are no income restraints-anyone needing the food is welcome.
All donations will go back into buying food from Roadrunner Food Bank.

Results from last month:

136 families were served.

There were 477 people in those 136 households.

Thank you to our sponsors-New Mexico Waste Services, Rich Ford and Liberty Square.

We also had 20+ volunteers-the pantry wouldn’t have been successful without their help.

Shorty’s BBQ and the Willes family are the gracious sponsorsthis month and Liberty Square has once again offered their space for the event.

In the four months this pantry has been operational, 1,165 people in 450 households have been recipients of food from Roadrunner. Thank you for all of your support, we couldn’t operate without help and donations from others.

If anyone is interested in helping by either volunteering their time or sponsoring the event, please contact me.  My phone number is 281-5364.

Have a wonderful week and thank you for your help,
Robin Prudencio
