During the months of March and April, the Take and Eat Food Pantry will again be participating in the Feinstein $1 Million Challenge to fight hunger in America. One million dollars will be divided proportionately among all agencies participating in the challenge. The more donations we collect (cash and non-perishable foods) the greater the amount the foundation will supply.

Please use MY money to help your neighbors in need!
My name is Alan Shawn Feinstein. For the past 13 years, I have been giving away $1
million each year to anti-hunger agencies throughout the country.
This year, I am doing it again…
WHATEVER YOU DONATE TO THIS AGENCY,
I WILL ADD MONEY TO IT. THE MORE
YOU GIVE, THE MORE OF MY $1 MILLION
THEY’LL GET—THANKS TO YOU!
Why am I doing this? Because I believe each of us was put here on earth to do
what we can to help those in need. You got this letter because we feel that YOU
believe that, too.
This has become the greatest grass roots campaign ever to fight hunger in our
country. Your donation makes you a partner in it with me!
My money started this campaign but it is YOU who will help decide how many
needy people in your city or town will be fed this year. All that will matter to us someday
is what we did while we were here to help those who needed us.
We Are Needed Now!
Please give whatever you can - I will gladly add some of my money to yours.
(My $1 million will be divided in full proportionately among
the agencies receiving donations toward my offer.)
Thank you for sharing my heart, and the hope that—someday—no one will ever go hungry.
Sincerely Yours,
Alan Shawn Feinstein

To help us raise money, Lowes Foods is giving us a discount on gift cards. We currently have Lowes Foods Gift cards ready for you to purchase. So instead of buying groceries with another form of payment, you can now buy your groceries with gift cards and help us raise money at the same time! Please contact the pantry for more information. |

The Summer Nutrition Assistance for Chatham Kids
(S.N.A.C.K.) program is back and bigger than last year.
During the summer of 2009, Take and Eat Food Pantry
partnered with Chatham OutReach Alliance (CORA), Chatham County Dept. of Social
Services, the Pittsboro Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, West
Chatham Food Bank and the Hispanic Liaison to provide breakfast and lunch foods
to 120 children in Chatham
County. The pilot program
filled the gap created during the summer break when children don’t have access
to the school free and reduced breakfast and lunch program.
In 2010, the program was expanded to feed 800 children! This
summer, the children will receive fresh fruit and carrot sticks along with the shelf-stable
breakfast and lunch foods. Additionally, Chatham Trades, Inc., Chatham County Schools, Goldston United
Methodist Church
and the Moncure Community Health
Center have joined as
partners.
Take and Eat Food Pantry is grateful for the involvement of
the Lystra Baptist Church
college students who are home for the summer and volunteering their time to
assist with distribution of the S.N.A.C.K. packs. |

We are thrilled that the Society of St. Andrew connected us with the Fearrington Farmers FoodShare program. Each Tuesday evening we receive donated produce from farmers at the Fearrington Farmers Market. In addition, patrons of the market donate money to the FoodShare program so that even more produce can be purchased from the farmers. Our clients have already enjoyed eggs, peaches, greens and tomatoes, to name just a few of the items. |
