FARMERS FEEDING FAMILIES
Farmers Feeding Families is a USDA Food Distribution Program sponsored by the US Federal Government. In July and August a food truck from Cash-Wa Distributing brought in meats, dairy and produce for families.  Cash-Wa Distributing had applied for this grant to  provide food to the midwest area of Nebraska and Iowa.  We will possibly have more food coming.  This will be advertised again in the Nance County Journal and our website  if they have any more distributions available.   Thank you to those who volunteered their time with the distribution of this food.

​FulLerton Food Pantry received a grant from A FAN for a new refrigerator.  The refrigerator has enabled us to accept perishable foods such as vegetables, fruits, and dairy products.  Thank you A FAN for supplying us with this needed refrigerator.
 

​A truck full of sweetcorn
In August a donation of fresh sweetcorn and other vegetables were delivered to the food pantry. Also some fresh eggs.   Thank you, Tom and Gail Knopik for your generous donation of food and time.


THANK YOU 
To everyone who is helping out during this Covid-19 Crisis.  Many of you helped donate your time and also we have had many, many generous donations and with those donations we have been able to provide to 35-48 households each month.  We have been able to give more including meats and vegetables and fruits. During the months of April and May we were able to put together bags to help supplement food with the school lunch program for families with children  We also have been purchasing our items in our local grocery stores which also helped our community businesses.  We will continue to provide as people need assistance.  Please call if you have questions or need some help.
