Ozaukee County "Organizing For America" Chapter to Sponsor Healthy Food Drive

The food shelves of Family Sharing of Ozaukee County will be the beneficiary of a healthy food drive to be organized and conducted on Saturday, June 27 by the Ozaukee County Chapter of “Organizing for America” in conjunction with President Obama’s National Day of Health Care Service. The drive will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Non-perishable, healthy food can be dropped at any of these sites:

Walkabout Farm 10130 N. Sheridan Dr.

President Obama believes that an important part of health care reform is creating a healthier society. One of the largest problems found in the uninsured population in America is malnutrition, caused not only by lack of food but by lack of nutritious food. The right amount of healthy food gives people the required nutrition to lead a balanced, healthy life.

 

Family Sharing of Ozaukee County serves the needs of low-income, elderly, and disabled residents of Ozaukee County. Assistance is provided in terms of food, clothing, household items, referrals, community education and other outreach services. The food shelf has become increasingly important to many families, and the shelves are in need of re-stocking. Please join your Ozaukee County friends and neighbors and help fill this critical need in our area. A healthier America benefits all of us.
