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 the system to improve the sit-
uation . With the $1395 .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 bread ,
soup , canned vegetable and a macaroni & 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 perishable donations . The minimum number of persons
served would be 700 .
