When you hear “food box,” what do you picture? One cardboard box?
Honestly, that’s what a lot of our new volunteers picture too, until they spend a little time in the Box Room. ☺️
They realize pretty quickly that a Monthly Box is a whole lot more than, well…a box.
Families get to choose from pantry staples like pasta, rice, beans, cereal, oatmeal, peanut butter, canned fruits and vegetables, soup, protein, bread, milk, eggs, yogurt, and more.
Thanks to purchases, gleaning, and generous donations, families can often take home fresh produce, desserts, and other extras, too.
The really cool part is that no two Monthly Boxes look exactly alike.
A Box for a household of one isn’t going to look the same as one for a family of six.
Someone who’s gluten-free needs gluten-free bread and cereal, and we’ve got those options available.
One person might come in and only need rice and pasta because they already have the rest of the ingredients at home to stretch into several meals.
Another household might be coming in after a major medical bill or an unexpected car repair, and they need help getting their pantry stocked back up.
Every Monthly Box is a little different because it’s built around the folks taking it home. 💛
