Thanks
Dear Friends,
I would like, in some way, to say a word of
thanks to "Every Person" that had a part in saying,
"Good By," to my precious son.
At the memorial services, I tried to go about
saying, "Thank You," but I am certain there were many
people that I missed. There are no words that can fully
convey the appreciation that is in my heart. Your love
and kindness will always be with me.
May God Bless,
Frances Ring

USDA News!!
Salem distribution dates are May 14th, 15th and 16th.
We are in Salem until our last appointment scheduled is
done.
Siletz distribution dates are May 20th, 21st and 22nd.
It is very important that you keep your appointment!
We will be attending a USDA seminar in Albuquerque,
New Mexico and need time to complete our monthly
reports.
Clients Wanted!!!
Last year at this time we were serving 600 clients and
ran out of food. This year we ordered enough food to
feed 650 clients. We are presently serving 525, so if you
know someone who needs help please have them call
your office or 1-800-922-1399 EXT. 126 and ask for
Wanda Belgarde or Sharon Butler.
Remember if you are a working client, we deduct 20
percent off of your gross income and use the net to meet
the guidelines.
Please pick your food up every month. I have to
order six months in advance so if you don't pick your
food up monthly it cuts down our food orders. We
order according to food distributed every three months.
USDA gets funded by the number of clients served.
Your participation is very important. It effects the
amount of food we can give you and the yearly budget
that pays the rent on both warehouses.
Please call if you have questions about the program.
