If you are in need of food, here are options to receive assistance from Feeding Avery Families:
Shop & Pick-Up on Fridays: On most Fridays at our Operations Center, our neighbors receive supplemental food assistance with a wide variety of non-perishable products, meat, produce, bread, dairy, dessert and a selection of household and personal items. Get details.
Seasonal Distributions: FAF offers additional evening food distributions from May through November to serve the needs of agricultural workers and increased accessibility.
Mobile Deliveries: Our mobile pantry distributions are designed to reach residents living in rural and underserved areas who lack transportation and cannot access our on-site distribution. These are organized in partnership with local individuals or organizations who have connections to the community. We directly distribute shelf stable foods, perishables, fresh produce, and assorted groceries. Get details.
Hispanic Outreach: Latinos experience hunger 2.5 times more than non-Hispanic white communities. Feeding Avery Families is committed to helping all our neighbors in need.
MANNA Packs for Kids: Many kids in our service area rely on free school meals during the academic year, and face being hungry on weekends and while school is out of session. Our MANNA Packs program is committed to ensure that our community’s children facing hunger not only have enough to eat, but also have the opportunity to thrive.
Snacks for Classrooms & Student Programs: FAF supports all schools within the county with additional snacks throughout the academic year and summer programs alike 4H and YMCA Summer Camp. Many teachers pay for snacks out of their own pockets in order to provide snacks for students who are unable or forget to bring their snacks from home. We want to relieve this burden from our teachers and help provide classroom snacks.
The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP): This federal program helps supplement the diets of people with low income by providing them with emergency food assistance at no cost. USDA provides 100% American-grown USDA Foods and administrative funds to states to operate TEFAP. This food is available on Fridays at our Operations Center.
