OUR Center Needs Emergency Food Provisions

The OUR Center needs the assistance of the St. Vrain community to restock the OUR Center Food Pantry and OUR Child Care Center. A record number of people are being assisted with emergency groceries because of the deepening economic downturn. Our stock of food has been seriously depleted.

Compared to the Year 2002 requests, we are serving 30% more persons in our hot meal program and in the emergency grocery program. Two in every five persons in line for a hot meal has been a child.

Here is a list of items needed in the pantry (deliver to 250 3rd Ave):

• Cereal
• Canned fruit Pasta
• Canned vegetables Canned Meals
• Macaroni and Cheese Tuna
• Rice
• Toothpaste

Here is a list of items needed at the OUR Child Care Center (deliver to 501 5th St.):

• Baby Food (no mixtures) Fruit (Peaches/Pears)
• Vegetables,
• Similac Advanced Formula with Iron,
• Unmixed Baby Cereal

Moreover, you may want to hold food drive at your place of work to help us maintain a consistent level of food in the pantry. If you are able to help with this request, please contact Sandy Stewart at the OUR Center at 303 -772-5529, extension 236.

Working together, we can assure that no one goes hungry in our community.
