The Community Foundation of Portage & District granted us funds to purchase the dehydrator and vacuum sealer for our Food Preservation project. As donations are rolling in, this dehydrator has been a tremendous help, and the vacuum sealer's turn is coming (stay tuned for more photos)! Thanks to the CFPD's generosity, we are now processing donations more efficiently and ensuring proper storage and zero waste of donated food. Thank you so much!!

We would like to give a huge THANK-YOU to Community Foundation of Portage and District who has come to the assistance of the local seniors' congregate meal and Meals on Wheels programs by granting us $15,000 to upgrade our kitchen equipment. This allows us to prepare meals more efficiently, continue to comply with all safe food handling regulations, and to process the generous donations of fresh veggies and fruits received from community residents, local grocers, and Fairholme Colony. The generosity of Community Foundation of Portage and District has allowed us to continue to serve the seniors in our community. Take a look at the photos below to see some of the upgrades that this money has allowed us to make in our kitchens.
