Food Bank

I’m so thankful for neat organizations like the Midsouth Food Bank। I can “buy” Pringles, paper supplies, cleaning supplies, name brand cereals, drinks, candy, and more for $0.14 per pound. It means that our budget can stretch to cover so many more needs.

If you take Styrofoam cups for example, you can get an idea how much it saves us। Between Camp and MYC, we go through thousands of cups a year. At Wal-Mart or Kroger, these would cost say $1 for 16 cups, or something (I probably would not be a good contestant on The Price is Right, but please give me a break.) But, if I go to the Food Bank, I can buy hundreds of them for less than $1. It takes a bunch of Styrofoam cups to make a pound.

It takes a drive to Memphis to take advantage of these savings, but I believe it’s more than worth it।

I thought it might be helpful to let you see one way the Mission attempts to be a good steward with the donations you and others make।

I’d love to hear from you। You can get involved in the Camp community by clicking on the “Comment” button below, and letting everybody “hear” what you have to say.

See you next time!
