If you can help, the CAFB could use it.  Fresh fruit and vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet, and while non-perishable items work in a pinch, there is nothing better than being able to crunch into that fresh apple or have a slice of tomato.

Today, as we celebrate the first day of spring, the Capital Area Food Bank is making a renewed commitment to provide fresh, nutritious fruit and vegetables to members of our community who are experiencing hunger – many for the first time.

Addressing the need for healthier food in our community, we are issuing an urgent appeal for your support to help us increase the amount of fresh produce we are able to distribute to our more than 700 partner agencies. Please click here to support our fresh produce distribution.

TCCOC Thanksgiving 2010

The holidays are particularly busy for Larry and the other volunteers at the TCCOC.  In addition to serving a traditional style Thanksgiving meal, members of TCCOC also distributed food baskets to individuals and families in Ward 5.  With help from the Capital Area Food Bank, World Mission’s Inner City Extension Program, and Mr. Carlos Allen, the TCCOC helped make Thanksgiving a little better for those in need in our nation’s capital.
