People who are experiencing financial insecurity often have to choose between paying rent and buying groceries. Sometimes, they run out of food assistance (SNAP EBT) and food at the same time. With the high cost of food, it's important for the community to step in and help avoid hunger.
Spokane Helpers Network provides free emergency Meal Kits. Each kit contains the contents of a meal that feeds four. Every kit includes non-perishable protein (e.g., canned chicken), at least one carbohydrate (e.g., noodles, biscuit mix), a canned vegetable, and a canned fruit. When there are children in the home, we also try to include healthy snacks.
We are seeking partners who can collect non-perishable food and assemble Meal Kits (in plastic grocery store bags).
Our volunteer delivery drivers will make sure that the Meal Kits are distributed to hungry households in Airway Heights, Spokane, Mead, and Spokane Valley.
Any number of Meal Kits would be helpful.
