MCC Elementary School Donates Birthday Bags

For their Christmas Project, the MCC Elementary School has put together Birthday bags to donated to the Murray County Food Shelf. Each grade donates a specific item to go into the bags: cake mixes, cake frosting, candles, birthday plates, napkins. Everything is brought together and the student council then assembles the bags. This is the third year that the children have taken on this project in support of the Murray County Food Shelf. “Thank you, kids,” for a tremendous job in making 25 birthday bags.

Information for Food Shelf Participants:

Participants must be residents of Murray County.

The Food Shelf is open on Thursdays from 2:30 to 4:30. When arriving at the Food Shelf, there will be a sign located near the entrance on the south side of the building. Call the number listed on the sign to register. You will be either told to come into the building or told to stay in your car and you will receive a pager. If is not possible for a registered participant to come to the Food Shelf at this time, a signed note may be sent with another person to pick up their food. In case if inclement weather or a holiday date conflict, please consult the local newspaper or listen to KJOE radio station for updated information.

Persons of all ages living in the same home are considered to be one household. An adult in the household will complete a TEFAP eligibility form listing the members of the household.

Households may receive food once each month. If a second visit in a month is needed, participants will be requested to complete a SNAP application at SW Human Services.

Participants are asked to bring the boxes they have received from the Food Shelf to use when they return the following month or bring the cloth bag that was given to them by the Food Shelf.
