The Open House event celebrating the completion of the Community Food Bank’s lobby is scheduled for Saturday, August 22, 2020 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. with free lunch provided at 12pm. You are invited to help us celebrate this important milestone and we hope that you can participate in this commemoration event, because you will have helped to make it happen.
During the Open House, donors will be honored, volunteers will be thanked, the completed lobby will be displayed and the warehouse area will be showcased. A short program will highlight the Food Bank’s services for anyone who wishes to learn more about this wonderful organization serving Freestone County and beyond.
The Community Food Bank is the only Food Bank in Freestone County that’s open twice a week every week and delivers to more than 100 homebound senior citizens and disabled persons once a month. We also have been feeding thousands across Central Texas every month before the pandemic had arrived. The last three months has been the record breaking months at our Food Bank feeding over 30,000 people. Weekly hours of operation: Tuesdays and Thursdays 10 a.m. — 12:30 p.m.
The Kindness for Case Korner, made possible by Kindness from Case Memorial Foundation and Board of Directors will be unveiled. It will be a special area for families of clients with bookshelves filled with children’s books (English & Spanish), posters encouraging kindness and educational toys.
Your support and that of other donors like you have enabled us to raise sufficient funds to complete the lobby, but please know there are ongoing monthly expenses and special project needs. As we look to the future, there is a need for a secure, contained space to be added to the warehouse, which would house freezers and coolers.
Sincerely,
