Food Pantry Challenges
Now that Christmas is over, I am sure you all are wondering how our can challenge is taking place, especially since Super Bowl Sunday is around the corner ( Feb 5th to be exact). We are collecting cans and various other food items for our local food pantry, which is always in great need during the winter months. Not only are we collecting for a great cause and need, we are also collecting to see Pastor wear some great Steeler’s gear. As part of the challenge, he would wear the Almost Famous Steeler’s Stole for 1000 collected items. If we collected 2000 items…there is a special item Pastor will wear. Let’s hurry and collect those food items to help our neighbors and convert Pastor in a Steeler’s fan.

According to authorities, two people were injured as a result.

The police statement said that local fire departments as well as helicopter ambulances responded, but the helicopters were not needed. Finally, the broken lift was shut down for the…

    Pantry Research Paper

    The first memory I have of the Pantry was as a child and I would go up to the attic of the old farm-house on 1063 N. Dugan Rd., Urbana, Ohio. My parents, Harry and Donna Dachenbach, moved from the farm of John Yordy on St. Rt. 36 where my sister was born, to the farm on Dugan Rd. This would have been about 1937 or 38. The house was a very large two-story house with a long attic that was scary for a young boy because it was dark, dusty and filled with junk and trash. There was a pair of broken boards between the two sides of the attic that my sister told me, “If you fall through the break, you will fall all the way to the basement”. Though an absolute falsehood, I sucked it up and always gave a wide berth to the broken boards. There was a large family living on the farm before Mom and Dad moved in, I believe their name was Hess. Back in the late 1800's – early 1900's a family by the name of James owned and lived in the house. The pantry was stored up in the attic against one end and was covered in dust and bird poop. After we got a TV and I got to see “Captain Video and his Video Ranger”, the Pantry became my space ship console (no color TV…

    Food Pantry Research Paper

    The place that I decided to volunteer at was the St. Thomas Church Pantry. The purpose of this service is to get food to people who have fallen upon tough financial times. One business skill that this group needs to keep the food pantry running is marketing skills. One of the struggles that food pantries have is not getting enough food donations of items they need. So, the leader of the pantry must ask for donations of the items that they run low on. This also means that the volunteers at the Pantry must take inventory on food items to ensure that they will not run out of certain food items. Also, they have to have a volunteer schedule just like most businesses this is to ensure that at least two volunteers will be working during the two days of the week that the Pantry is…

    Superbowl Sunday Research Paper

    The day had finally come. No it wasn't Christmas or the New Year, Kwanza or even Easter. It was the the most glorious day of all days, the Superbowl. Now for anyone who has never heard of the Superbowl and lives in America, that person has either lived in a cave for their whole life or…well that I think would be safe to say that's probably the only case because everyone knows what the Superbowl is. Anyway, this Superbowl Sunday started off just a little bit different than most Superbowl's I've had off from work and for any of this day to make any sense for anyone that wasn't there, I'm going to have to start by including some background information on the previous events that led up to this day.…

    Food Pantries Research Paper

    Many people go to the food pantries in Indiana, which causes very long lines at the food pantry. All of the food pantries in Northwest Indiana have at least 600 people that visit every month. But, some of the food pantries serve more people that others. This is due to the fact that the town might not have a great deal of poverty in their area. But, it might also be that there is not a very big population in the town. The food pantries that serve a lot of people have very long lines so it takes longer for everyone to inherit what they need and it also uses more food and other resources for the people. So, a new schedule should be made for the opening times and dates of the food pantry so that everyone that needs to come can come, and so that…

    Food Empowerment Project

    Food deserts is a serious topic that communities need to consider looking into. Residents are struggling to obtain healthy food because they are isolated from the urban areas. Ideally they are low-income and do not own a car or access to public transportation meaning getting around places is a challenge. According to the “Food Empowerment Project’s”, they stated that high incomed districts have three times of accessible supermarkets as low incomes locations. As they specifically mentioned that in white neighborhoods, they have at least four time as many supermarkets compared to black neighborhoods. Living in a food desert, it is very limited to supermarkets that are usually miles away. People who have limited access to grocery stores only have…

    Community Food Bank Reflection

    Spelman College’s motto, A Choice to Change the World, mirrors my goal as a member of this intellectual community. During my first year at this institution, I dedicated myself to several hours of community service. I found that this was a vital part of my intellectual growth as both a student and person within society. This year I volunteered for several nonprofit organizations, however I dedicated most of my time to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Before volunteering for this organization I was not quite sure how I would be able to make a significant difference in my community. However, when I volunteered for this organization, I was able to tremendously help people in Atlanta. Likewise, this experience opened my eyes to the increasing…

This food bank also hosts special events to raise funds and collect food for our community.…
