We would like to thank all of you for your support this past year, whether that support came to us financially, through volunteering, or through prayer.  Perhaps you told a friend about us and we now have a broader financial base or a new client.  We are very grateful for every effort and every dollar.

This past year the numbers of families requesting help continued to decrease some, but we were still able to distribute nearly 3,000 boxes of food to those in need.  We do continue to register new clients each month and see many of our elderly friends at our distributions.  Your financial support is crucial to this effort.  Other gifts have also been received, including the following: being named as the recipient of memorial donations, various food drives and work place challenges, and Smile.Amazon contributes a small percentage of the cost of items you purchase from them.  All of your generosity and thoughtful gestures have contributed to a successful year.  We could not operate without you.

At this point in time, our overhead is minimal and all staff members are volunteers.  94% of each dollar received is spend for food.  Most of this food comes from Central California Food Bank in Fresno.  Each month we receive day old bread from a distributor in Visalia, and we are able to purchase meat locally from Best Buy Market.

We have moved to a new location!  Our distribution is the fourth Saturday of each month at First Methodist Church, 500 E. Bush Street, Lemoore, CA.  We invite you to drive by and check out the work we are doing, or stop and volunteer.

Sincerely,
God's Bread Box Board of Directors
