Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1998-07-01, Page 1212 -TME HURON EXPOSITOR, JULY 1, ORM Surplus food system set up here in Huron The Children's Aid of Huron and Kids Kitchen Table Project announce the set up of a simple system of surplus food distribution. - "The goal is to make large food producers more aware oi`the ease with which they; can make a food donation" said Lynda Rotteau. Kids Kitchen Table advisor. • A central phone number will ,serve as a contact for people who have donations of food but do not know who to contact in their arca. The number used is the toll fret number for Children's Aid of Huron 1-800-265-5198. The person answering the phone will consult a Food . Bank booklet to determine which location is suitable to receive the donation depend- ing on location and food stor- age capacity. In the past truck loads of vegetables have been lost due to the gap in commu- nications between the donor and the food hanks. It is our hope to eliminate this .road- block and improve the sys- tem. Several volunteers from the Food Focus group have agreed to make the phone -,calls that make. the system possible. All nine Food Banks in the County have been consulted about this program and have agreed to participate. ,Last fall heforc thc system was activated a call came in . regarding a donation of 75 ten pound hags of potatoes These potatoes were either too •large or small to he suit- able for commercial sale but Were perfectly edible. The farmer contacted a vol- unteer and the • call was directed, to the Christmas Bureau. Seventy-five families had 10 pounds of potatoes with two phone calls. This is • an example of Flow the sys- tem will Operate. Students of Carol Carter took part In a piano recital June 8 at First Presbyterian Church.
