feeding our neighbors
Filling the Fridges and Pantries - May/June 2o24
The underfed in our community aren't always the ones you see, or drive by on your way around town. They are not always in shelters. Many people that are food insecure, are your neighbors, co-workers and kids in your local schools.
At Partners4People, we are big fans of and inspired by the ATX Free Fridge program, and we dedicated the summer of 2024 to fill these local outlets as often as possible.
Funds raised were used to buy:
- Fresh Fruits and vegetables
- Snacks (including granola bars, crackers, applesauce)
- Waters and Gatorades
- Peanut butter and Jelly
- Deli Meats and Cheeses (to build sandwiches)
- Canned foods (tuna, soups, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, corn, beans)
- And much more!
Northpoint camp 75 partnership
Camp 75 is a summer program of Northpoint Church in Cedar Park.
According to Northpoint, "Camp 75 is our greatest opportunity to be for our community throughout the summer. It's a cross-generational event where student teams put on three 75-minute camps per day for kids in front and back yards.
As Camp 75 has evolved in recent years, we've also used these time slots to partner with and serve nonprofit organizations in our city".
This is where Partners4People comes in. In 2023, we were able to feed 700 people. In 2024, we doubled that number. We look forward to continuing this partnership with Camp 75.
