The Akron/Canton Regional FoodBank is somewhat a "silent partner" with PMC. While we are truly blessed with five parishes and one private organization providing meals, and contributions from various churches, the provisions we draw from the FoodBank are critical to rounding out our meals and keeping our food costs low.
How low from the FoodBank in year 2014?
* our average cost on all purchases was .10 per pound.
* our total cost for all provisions was 6.7 cents on the dollar.
Our overall stats:
Meals served: 16,459 (year 2013 10,000). This includes our meals served in the Dinning Hall, meals to our tented citizens on Saturday and Thursday meals to the Miller Avenue Youth Program.
These statistics are important only because of the team of volunteers who prepare for and put the meals together.
Who are they: Tom Smith, managing the kitchen; Don Roese, Mickey Mader and Dawn Hosick coordinating the selection of provisions needed, and placing and picking up the orders each week.
So .. praise God for the wonderful resource of the Akron/Canton Regional FoodBank. When you receive a plea in the mail asking for support of this non-profit organization, please consider a donation.

Chairman
