For many of our  clients, these served meals represent their primary resource of nutrition.  The families that receive the fresh  produce through the food fair often explain that without this resource they  would have to choose between buying food and paying their other bills.  Through the food fair they are able to  get items that they would otherwise have to do without. 
     
                  In addition, we  provide three (3) meals a day to the children who attend St. John’s  Academy.   
                  The meals served to  them at school are often the only food they receive throughout the week.  Many of the families we serve through  the academy are socio-economically underprivileged and depend on the meals  served at the school to provide for the physical needs of their children.   
                  We recognize that  good nutrition and consistent meals are critical to the healthy growth and  development of the children and the stability of the adult.  The Pathway to Hope is the means by  which we assist in providing the extra needed to keep people from being  hungry.    |
