Thank you very much to our donors and volunteers for making the December 15th distribution a success. We served over 120 people- our biggest number yet, and 15 new families also signed up. There is definitely a need for a food bank in the Pioneer Community!

We were able to distribute 34 recipe packets for vegetable chili with brown rice, and 34 packets for oatmeal with dried fruit and nuts, along with five donated slow-cookers. We also gave out fresh broccoli, baby carrots, garlic, onions, apples and satsumas to Pioneer residents in need.

A huge thank you to the Mason General Hospital and Family of Clinics for letting the PCFB benefit from their holiday food drive. We collected 235 pounds of healthy food donations, including lots of brown rice, whole wheat pasta, low-sodium canned tomatoes, and beans of all kinds. Hooray for MGH- thank you for thinking of our clients and the health benefits of "whole" foods!!

Along with our regular food, we will be giving out samples of new healthy recipes (veggie chili and steel-cut oats with apples) and the ingredients to make them. Please bring your own box to collect your food. See you there!
