No one goes hungry here. Many of us live in poverty. Our lifestyles would be considered to be substandard to most. Yet, we have it pretty good. The generosity of our Community is astounding! Not only is there plenty of food available, but some of it is abundant enough for those with kitchens to can and freeze some of it.
We know how fortunate we are. Not all Communities have the resources to be so generous.
Some of the food that we get is donated by local supermarkets and stores. Sushi that is leftover from the day before gets delivered to Felton Covered Bridge Park a few mornings through the week. It may not be much, but it is often more than enough for the few there to take it. Bags of bakery items do not arrive as frequently as they used to, just because it got to be so overwhelming. Sometimes, there are a few fruits and vegetables.
Neighbors bring surplus food too. Some of it is just canned and dry goods that are getting close to their expiration dates. Some is surplus produce from home gardens and fruit trees. Leftovers from parties and barbecues are always nice!
The most reliable and most abundant source of food is the ‘Food Distribution’ between 11:00 a.m. and noon every Thursday at Community Bridges, which most of us know as Mountain Community Resources, or simply, MCR. Much of the produce there is surplus or culls from local farms. Some canned and dry goods are just getting too old for stores to sell. Of course, there is never a shortage of bread that must be cycled out.
It is unfortunate that there are so many in our Community who can not afford sufficient food. However, it is gratifying that no one goes hungry.

There’s a small village down the road from me where the same situation exists: there’s a good bit of poverty, but no one goes hungry, thanks to the efforts of some organizations and individuals. Since we’re also a resort/tourist area, there are a lot of restaurants, and many of them contribute food to the pantries and meal services.

Reblogged this on Felton League and commented:
Apologies for not posting a new article on schedule last night. As I mentioned a few times during the past few weeks, I will not be able to write new articles for quite a while. Old articles will instead be recycled until I can resume writing. This article is more than a year old. I am very sorry that I can not write about the CZU Lightning Complex Fire now. Even if I had time to write about it, I lack information. I left the region a day prior to the evacuations, and am now just as unable to return as everyone else.
