Bible Study / Village Harvest, May 15, 2019 (full size gallery)
Wed., May 15, 2019 on a gorgeous spring day. On St. Peter’s 183rd birthday – a full house for Bible Study at 10am showing off 3 cakes for the Village Harvest and then the Village Harvest later that day at 3pm. Eunice made a pineapple upside cake, Cherry angel food and Brad contributed a pound cake.
At the harvest, 146 were fed with 1,192 pounds of food – produce, groceries, meats and those birthday cakes! 146 was our best draw in a year. We have fed 593 this year close to last year at this point at 601 though under 2017 with 692.
Clients received an average of 8 pounds of food worth approximately $49. The year it has been higher at 12.75 pounds just behind last year in May at 13.67 pounds.
Most of the food was grocery (937 pounds) followed by meat (167 pounds), drinks (78 pounds) and produce (10 pounds). There was chicken, tuna, oranges, apple sauce, canned vegetables, rice, pasta, olive oil, two kings of cereal and fruit juice for the kids.
For the year we have provided 7,561 pounds under last year’s 8,214 in 2018 but well above the previous two year’s under 6,500 pounds each
