Julie Sleister described the Farmers to Families Food Box program as a short-term blessing.
Over the last six weeks, Care Corpsâ LifeHouse distributed 1,200 Farmers to Families Food Boxes and 1,200 gallons of milk to Fremonters in need.
Sleister, the executive managing director, estimates more than 3,000 people benefitted from the food before distribution ended this week.
Considering the great need, Sleister continues to encourage the public to donate cash and nonperishable food items to the LifeHouse food pantry as the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for food.
âFood insecurity in our community is higher than itâs been by almost 75 percent from a year ago,â she said.
