Greater Lansing Food Bank to Distribute Food Packs to Local Kids
LANSING, Mich. – Greater Lansing Food Bank will distribute 1,900 packs of food to children as part of Project Connect events in Clinton, Gratiot and Clare counties. Each pack will contain four packages of oatmeal, two packages of instant noodles, two boxes of macaroni and cheese, one jar of peanut butter, one can of pasta, four cereal bars, and a piece of fruit. Project Connect is a series of resource fairs designed to help low-income families. The food packs were purchased with funds from Red Nose Day.
"Hii ni fursa nzuri kwetu kushirikiana na mashirika mengine ili kuhakikisha familia zina kile wanachohitaji wakati wanajiandaa kurudi shuleni," anasema Kim Harkness, Mkurugenzi wa Uendeshaji katika Benki ya Chakula ya Greater Lansing. "Chakula ni muhimu sana kwa familia hizi. Watoto hupata wasiwasi juu ya chakula katika wiki chache zilizopita za majira ya joto tangu mipango yao ya chakula cha majira ya joto mara nyingi inaisha, na chakula cha shule hakijasema bado."
Red Nose Day is an annual fundraising campaign which culminates in a celebrity filled telethon on NBC. Money raised through Red Nose Day is granted to Feeding America food banks, as well as other national charities. Walgreens and M&M’s sponsored this year’s telethon, which was held in May.
Familia zinazotafuta habari kuhusu matukio ya Mradi wa Kuunganisha zinapaswa kupiga simu Benki ya Chakula ya Greater Lansing kwa 517-908-3680.

Benki Kuu ya Chakula ya Lansing (GLFB) iliundwa mnamo 1981 ili kukidhi hitaji katika jamii kubwa ya Lansing ambayo ilikuwa muhimu wakati wa uchumi mkubwa wa miaka ya 1980. Kwa bahati mbaya, mahitaji yanaendelea.
