Charity Entry by Mercedes Kirkland-Doyle
Through their Mobile Meals program, The Good News Community Kitchen (TGNCK) provides meals-ready-to-eat to the displaced under-served population throughout the area. Recently, TGNCK has incorporated the Emergency Meal Units (EMUs) sub-initiative for identified families in urgent need of dry goods. Identified families receive the emergency meal units to immediately remedy food scarcity. Each EMU consists of: 1lb bag of rice, 2cn beans (either butter beans or black beans 7 servings total) and 1lb of whole grain old fashioned oats.
Their Meals 2 Go Kits are kits designed to help fight childhood hunger. While homelessness is distinctly visible in the community, many children face food insecurity and lack essential clothing and school supplies necessary to effectively perform on an academic and social basis. Each kit consists of 1bx flavored oatmeal, 1bx saltine crackers, 1ea creamy peanut butter, 2cn Chefboyardee and 2cn vegetable soup. TGNCK delivers 50 kits on a biweekly basis to all schools committed to their Community Partners.
