Applicant Program Description: The Weld Food Bank, a not-for-profit 501-c-3 agency, accepts food donations from various local producers and suppliers. Other sources of obtaining food is food drives, Second Harvest National Food Bank Network, TEFAP, and purchasing food. In operating an Emergency Food Box Program for over six years we have noticed some low income hungry persons do not make it through the system for various reasons. We have and will continue to work with both the clients and system to improve the situation. With the $4,260.00 we would purchase food and add any extra perishable food items we have available to make "Mini" Boxes for these persons. Included in these boxes would always be a protein item, dairy product, soup, and macaroni and cheese dinner. When we have extra donations of garden vegetables or the family has not received any commodities for the month those foods would be added. All the coordination, eligibility criteria, etc. would be decided by the Weld County Coordinated Food Box Committee of which Weld County Department of Social Services is a member. The goal is to feed hungry people and prevent waste of some spordic large perish- able donations. The minimum number of persons served would be 1400.
