Joy of Giving and EFN
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Joy of Giving during Christmas. It was a huge success for the families served by the Emergency Foodshelf Network. There were many positive comments and our congregation was very generous in their giving. A check in the amount of $960 was given to EFN for the purchase of canned goods, fresh and frozen meat, fruit and vegetable packs, and baby food.

Fare for All
Are you looking for a way to stretch your food dollar? Check out Fare for All, a program of Emergency Foodshelf Network (EFN). Fare for All is open to anyone, regardless of income. Fresh, frozen or packaged food is purchased from large food suppliers. The menu changes slightly each month. Fare for All is like a co-op. The more people that purchase, the more Fare for All can purchase at greater savings and then pass those savings on to you! Cash, credit, debit and EBT are accepted.

Visit the Fare for All site at EFN in New Hope, every Monday between the hours of 9:30 am-7 pm. To learn more about Fare for All visit www.FareforAll.org or call 763.450.3880.
