Snow Cap
- brings together people who have, with people who have-not.
- encourages work and self sufficiency as a means of strengthening families.
- supports the family dinner hour, providing groceries so that families may cook meals at home.
- is an natural outgrowth of the neighborliness that made for quilting bees, barn raisings, and gathering food and clothes to meet basic needs of less fortunate neighbors.
Major Programs
Food Pantry: Provides nutritious food boxes for area clients from 10 to 2, Monday through Friday and until 5:30 on Tuesday. Clients can shop for food twelve times in a calender year. Over 4000 people receive food from this pantry each month.
Community Basket: Low-income families can join in this program for a yearly membership fee of $15.00. This gives each of the 140 participating families a monthly box of assorted food and cleaning items, a newsletter about stategies for stretching limited budgets, and free coupons.
Children's Clothes Closet: Children in the 8th grade and under can select needed clothing for free throughout the year. This Fall, 1000 children were outfitted with new or used clothing and school supplies to start the school year.
Please Help!
Volunteer Your Time: There is an ongoing need for people to pack food boxes, sort clothes, drive the truck, interview clients, answer phones or do other office work. Special skills like grant writing, computer management and maintenance, and committee work are also needed.
