FEED A FAMILY 2018 releases reports

Once more the community of Queen Anne’s County has shone a bright light of loving kindness.

From the invitation to participate in small and large ways…..school food drives, church and business Turkey Tag Displays, Choosing Tags to make a family a Thanksgiving Box of Food with Turkey, to volunteering before, during and after “Work Week” each gave their best for the sake of another!

FEED A FAMILY’s Community Food Program organized receipt and delivery to 460 families, approximately 1670 people, from Kent Island thru Centreville.  Additionally, with the Food Drive Donations, another 2 Thanksgiving Programs, 3 Back Pack Programs, 5 local Food Pantries and a head start on 2 Christmas Food Programs were helped!  Thru a generous donor, large families also received an extra bag of household items!  Hundreds of families helped hundreds of their neighbors!  Thank you so much!

A special mention goes to our community business support!  FEED A FAMILY Central space @ The Kent Narrows Outlets is loaned to us for a couple of weeks by Douglas Development, Victory Packaging  supplies us with delivery boxes as needed, Ebb Tide Tent and Party Rental loans tables, RJH Air and Refrigeration loans the Freezer Trailers.  Fresh Potatoes and Onions, split up and bagged for families are donated by Lowery’s Fresh Produce and Farmer John’s.  The Women’s Auxiliary of The Kent Island Fire Department purchases 300 loaves of bread!  And, Thanksgiving Day, several Hot Meals are given from The Narrows Restaurant to be delivered to a few who have no means to cook.

While missing some of our regular volunteers on The FEED A FAMILY TEAM due to illnesses, sport nights, college visits and funerals….the show went on as planned with wonderful new volunteers and friends filling in!  What happens each year is a gift to each of us, and, in many ways it is what happens on Thanksgiving Day at many of our homes.  It is about Family, Friends, Food and Grateful Hearts!              We wish you a Merry Christmas and an Blessed New Year!
