Join our new “Heart of Gold” monthly giving program. With a $20 a month donation we can purchase over 1,400 lbs of food. Help us meet the growing need!
This year our food pantry has been working with the University of Florida Dietetic Graduate students in find the most cost effective and nutritious food for our clients. One of their suggestions was that we consider a “Feed a Family” program. As part of the Feed a Family program we ask donors to fill a box of food to feed a family of 3 or 4 for four days. This method of food collection has become very popular with the donors and the clients. Below are the food choices for a Feed a Family box. Boxes can be dropped off at the Catholic Charities office or at any Catholic Parish in Gainesville.
