My hubby just came home with our CARE CLUB food boxes.
Look in your phone-book, front section under County area, look for Care Club, or Food Bank. If not call your local Senior Center, or Chamber of Commerce, they should have a number for this service.
The Care Club monthly boxes cost $15.00, you'll need to purchase early in the month so they'll have it ready for you on pick up date. You'll get a receipt with pick up date and time.If you work all week, think lunch hour or break time, they are ready and will have all but frozen food in a shopping cart ready to load you car, and here they help you lift and load:)
Here's what I got in the boxes for $15.00 AND when you sign up they do NOT ask about level of income etc. Anyone can purchase these. The local grocery stores donate their overstock to this place. We get the really healthy overstock items, guess those don't sell out..goodie for us.
So here's the list and tell me if you could buy this ALL with $15.00's?
