A Quick Word from your President:

Hello, PHlock!!

I’d like to take a quick moment to thank our PHellow member, Pam Hausle, for extending an invitation to take the opportunity to showcase just how amazing PHCF is to all of Central Florida via the WESH2 CommUNITY segment featuring the Space Coast Parrot Head Club. Our amazing Keeper, Ray Wortley, did a PHantastic job sharing all the wonderful that is our PHabulous PHlock, and this was definitely a moment we could appreciate ourselves (and our PHriends) for all that we have done/continue to do.

Have a PHun September, and I’ll see you “Partying with a Purpose” at one of the three volunteer opportunities on this month’s calendar!!

Lucky Stars for This Month

Recipient: Second Harvest Food Bank

Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is a private, nonprofit organization that collects, stores and distributes donated food to more than 550 feeding partners in six Central Florida counties: Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia. Last year, with the help of numerous donors, volunteers and a caring, committed community, the food bank distributed nearly 58 million meals to partner programs such as food pantries, soup kitchens, women’s shelters, senior centers, day care centers and Kids Cafes.

In addition to helping feed the line of our neighbors who need help, Second Harvest also transforms dozens of lives directly every year.  Economically-challenged adults who graduate from our 16-week culinary training program are placed in ‘better than minimum wage’ jobs that set them and their families on a path to self-sustainability.  Yet another important activity helps connect people who are eligible to receive SNAP food assistance benefits with the resources they need to access the program and get help.

Critical need items:

  • Fruits: Canned fruit (in its own juice, no sugar added varieties), dried fruit, 100% fruit juice
  • Vegetables: Canned vegetables (reduced salt/no salt varieties), 100% vegetable juice, spaghetti sauce
  • Grains: Rice, pasta, crackers (whole-grain varieties), ready-to-eat cereal (low sugar/high-fiber), oatmeal
  • Protein Foods: Canned meat/poultry, canned tuna/salmon (packed in water), canned/dry beans & peas (low/no salt varieties), peanut butter
  • Dairy/Dairy Alternatives: Nonfat dry milk, evaporated milk, soymilk
  • Meals: Beef stew, canned soup (reduced sodium varieties), chili, other canned meals
  • Other: Nutritional drinks (ex: Ensure, Boost)
