The Protein Pantry
Help stop nutrition shortages. The Amherst Survival Center is experiencing a growing shortage of protein -- essential to health. Beans, tuna, peanut butter, canned stews and fresh meats---these protein-rich foods are being donated at lower levels than in the past. We have created a fund to allow us to go beyond donations to acquire foods essential to a healthy diet for our neighbors in need. The Center provides five meals weekly and our aim is to provide protein in each of them. Protein Pantry Supporter $50 “Government funding for food has been cut by more than 50%. Local businesses that generously donate food have had to trim excess to meet their own bottom lines. Neighbors who always donate non-perishable food also have less to spare. The Center’s goal is to keep our food shelves stocked and meals we prepare nutrition-filled in this time of increasing demand for our services." -- Cheryl Zoll, Executive Director, Amherst Survival Center |
