FROM THE DIRECTOR:

WHAT A SUMMER! Hot & smokey. I really prefer my brats that way, not my summers.

Thank you so much for your support through the summer months. We were able to provide about 3,000 kids a little extra kid friendly food with your kid friendly food and monetary donations.

If you receive a plastic grocery bag on your door step Labor Day week, please throw a few food items in the bag and leave it by your front door on Saturday, September 9th (before 9am). LDS “Helping Hands Heroes” will pick up the bag and deliver it to the Food Bank.

This food drive literally gets us through until holiday food drives begin.

IT REALLY DOESN’T TAKE MUCH
TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE!

THE FOOD BANK ENDOWMENT FUND

Making sure the Food Bank
stays strong well into the future-

I would like to ask you to join me in making a $20 donation to the Food Bank Endowment Fund managed by the Klamath Community Foundation. This gift can be separated from a gift for food by clicking here to open, print and cut out the $20 bill and then enclosing it with your donation.  We will deduct $20 from the total gift sent and deposit it in the endowment fund. If you’re donating on-line make a note on the description line. To learn more about the Endowment Fund feel free to contact me. To make a direct donation, mail your gift to:

KCF/ Klamath-Lake Counties Food Bank Endowment Fund P.O. Box 1903; Klamath Falls, OR 97601

IT’S GARDEN HARVEST SEASON!!!

Bring us your onions, your tomatoes and your zucchini, yearning to be eaten.

We can take any amount and any size. If you have fruit trees, we can take your surplus.

One of our lovely senior Food Bank clients stopped by the office to let me know she would have gone without if it weren’t for the produce she canned last summer.

She went on to say she was housebound most of winter because she couldn’t get out of her driveway, let alone drive on icy, snowy roads.

She relied on her canned fruits and vegetables to get her through. THIS IS WHY YOU AND I DO WHAT WE DO!

Unfortunately, we can’t come out and pick the fruit due to insurance issues, but we can bring you boxes if you live in Klamath Falls. Call us when they’re filled and we’ll happily come by and pick up your harvest and get it to people in need. You may want to enlist your youth church group, grandchildren or the neighbor kids to help you.

The "Klamath Food Project"

This is a fun and easy way to hold a food drive ANYTIME, ALL YEAR LONG. If you’d like to hold a food drive at your club meeting, office or classroom, just give us a call and we’ll deliver the bags to you. Have your club, office or classroom members take the bag home, fill it, and bring it back to you. We’ll pick up the bags or you can deliver them to us.
