FLOOD CRISIS CAUSES A FOOD CRISISAs you know, UsMoms Community Projects provides free food boxes of highly nutritious food to deserving single parent families every week. These families are working very hard on their programs to become self-reliant. Our current membership is at 304 families, which adds up to 304 adults and 973 children that rely on this food to get through a week. All of these families desperately need this food to be able to succeed. We get most of our fresh produce from local farms. These farms have been flooded . As you have seen on the TV news these farms are under water and the rain continues to come down. There will be no produce picked until the water recedes. And then we may find out most of the crops have been destroyed. Much of the produce is already rotting. We could end up without enough produce for months ahead. We may have to wait until the food is coming from the greenhouses in January. We URGENTLY need your help. We need to raise enough money to purchase other produce from the international wholesalers to replace this locally grown food. Please respond as quickly as possible ! We need thousands of dollars to feed these people. Thank you so much for your help. Please send a cheque to: UsMoms Community Projects 8179 Osler Street Vancouver, BC V6P 4E3 Or call to have the money picked up by a member of our Board of Directors at: 604 261-2282 ask for Katie or Karen |
