During the holidays some schools hold food drives that are vital to <br /> restocking the Samaritan Relief Ministry food pantry. For the past three <br /> years, Cedar Ridge High School has held a coat drive. The coats were <br /> brought to the Samaritan Relief Ministry for distribution to people needing <br /> warm coats. <br /> • Private and Charter Schools: These schools are becoming more active in <br /> collecting food for the pantry. <br /> • Area Congregations: Pastors of OCIM member congregations make <br /> referrals for food and financial support for people within these congregations. <br /> Food referrals are available to people who are initially unaware of Orange <br /> County Department of Social Services and choose to go to churches for help. <br /> Many donations to the Samaritan Relief Ministry food pantry come through <br /> monthly food collections as well as general donations to the Samaritan Relief <br /> Ministry. Many of the Samaritan Relief Ministry volunteers come from <br /> member congregations. <br /> • Orange County Sheriff's Office: The Sheriffs Office held a fan drive this <br /> summer and OCIM received many fans to distribute to people in need. <br /> • Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC: The Samaritan Relief Ministry <br /> receives food at low or no cost. <br /> • Inter-Faith Food Shuttle: The Samaritan Relief Ministry receives produce <br /> and other food for a very low fee. The food has previously been delivered at <br /> no cost to our agency. Because of their own budget challenges, a small fee <br /> was initiated in 2016. <br /> • PORCH Chapel Hill & Hillsborough: The Samaritan Relief Ministry pantry <br /> receives monthly donations of non-perishable food items from local <br /> neighborhoods. <br /> • Food Lion Stores: A local Food Lion store donates "pulled" or "near date" <br /> produce, meat and bakery goods. They also provide food through the sale of <br /> their "Holiday's without Hunger"boxes. <br /> • Weaver Street Market: Through special fundraising campaigns, the pantry <br /> receives weekly deliveries of fresh eggs and apples. Beginning winter 2017, <br /> seasonal vegetables with accompanying soup recipes will be delivered to the <br /> pantry. <br /> Program Description (3 pages OR LESS) <br /> Please provide the following information about the proposed program: <br /> PPnr-ZRAA/1 1111FnRAA47-1()A1 1n1/7(117 R41-2,4 AAA P r. 9 ni <br />
