PROJECT FOOD BOX
The Western Eagle Foundation, in it's continuous commitment to provide for the needs of it's communities, has an esablished food program called "Project Food Box". Project Food Box, launched in 2001, was created to help the segment of society that is often overlooked- "the working poor". Unfortunately, most food banks and government agencies can not help anyone who is working or owns a home. However, we at Western Eagle are well aware of the countless single moms, senior citizens, foster homes and the unemployed, who earn an income but find it impossible to make ends meet from week to week.
For a small fee, (which is your share of costs for collection and distribution) you can get a supply of food that will feed a family of four, 2 meals a day each, for an entire week. Each food box contains the following: Breakfast: Cereal and Complete Pancake Mix
Dinners: Pasta with Sauce, Rice and Beans, Hamburger and Tuna Helper, Mashed Potatoes, Canned Foods (baked beans, vegetables and more), Seasonal Fresh Produce. Also included are additionally donated items such as milk, cheese, yogurt (as well as a wide range of other dairy products) soda, snacks, bread items and more.
In these hard economic times, Western Eagle is pleased to be able to provide this service to EVERYONE in the community. There is no paper work required and no income verification necessary to take part in "Project Food Box". The only requirement is NEED! We all know someone or some family who could use a little help from time to time. People can come as often as they wish with their integrity and sense of responsibility in tact as they are not asking for a "hand out" but rather, a "helping hand". In fact, since it's 2002 launch, 9,000,000 meals have been distributed by "Project Food Box". Also, during the Christmas season, WEF distributed 100 boxes free of charge to the families on Camp Pendleton as a thank you for all they do for our country.
We take our Food Box truck out on a Monday to Anza, and on Saturday to Oceanside. Please take advantage of our food bank and all that we have to offer at The Western Eagle Foundation. NOBODY should go hungry within our reach. |
