We are so excited about this new adventure at the Food bank but we still need help with funding. Can you come alongside the Mineral Lake Lions to make a difference for our neighbors and friends?
π¨ Mineral Daily Bread Food Bank Expansion β We Need Your Help! π¨
The Mineral Lake Lions Club, along with District 19N Lions, and the Daily Bread Food Bank "Mineral Food Bank", is working on an urgent and impactful project β expanding the Mineral Daily Bread Food Bank!
This food bank serves families from Lewis, Pierce, and surrounding counties, providing essential food and support to those in need. In 2024, the food bank served over 657 families monthly β thatβs almost 10,000 individuals annually β more than double the number served the year before. Unfortunately, the current storage space simply canβt keep up with this growing demand, and we risk not being able to serve everyone, especially during peak times.
πͺ The Solution: Weβre expanding our food storage capacity by 200% β over 1000 square feet! This means:
More room for food storage π½οΈ
Increased refrigeration & freezer space π₯Ά
More efficient food distribution π
Better emergency response for natural disasters or supply disruptions π§οΈ
π° Our Goal: Weβre raising $150,000 to make this expansion possible β directly supporting families across Lewis, Pierce, and surrounding counties. Weβve applied for several grants, but one specifically requires us to raise a portion of this amount before their grant review process to show our commitment.
π¨ We MUST raise $18,000 before April 1st to qualify for this crucial funding! π¨
π How You Can Help: Every contribution β big or small β makes a HUGE impact. Please be sure to specify that your donation is for the Mineral Daily Bread Food Bank Expansion Project so it goes directly to this important cause.
