PIE
CONTEST HELPS HUNGRY
“WONDERFUL APPLE PIES” This was
the opinion of the lucky judges who sampled
the delicious pies at the fair. All pies were
served on the USF lunch trucks. Dr. Dubyak
and his family of Dubyak Family Chiropractic
on Geer Road organized this annual contest
in conjunction with the County fair. Dr.
Dubyak and his family donated the prizes: $100.00 to
the 1st place winner. Loriann Wixom, and $50.00 to the 2nd
place winner, Elsie Silva. Thanks to all the contestants
and judges. Special thanks to the Dubyak
Family for a great event. Keep an eye out for
the pumpkin pie contest coming this fall just
before Thanksgiving. For pictures, see this month's newsletter.

USF HIGHLIGHTS THE TURLOCK SITE
The Turlock site is home to our administrative
staff: Director, Barbara, Operations Manager,
Maris, Accountant, Holly, Administrative Assistant,
Toni and our Receptionist, Paz. Eight hundred
meals a day are prepared in our kitchen for
the Turlock and Keyes/Ceres mobile lunch truck
routes by staff persons Cheryl and Falesoa, assisted
by community service workers and many
volunteers. Anita serves the homeless that use
the Homeless drop-in Center for showers and laundry. Through the Emergency
Box Program over two hundred Turlock residents who are in need of
more than just a daily lunch are assisted. We thank the dedicated group of
volunteers and community service workers who help prepare and distribute
the food boxes on the last Tuesday and Friday of each month. Staff person,
Betty assists clients in the Clothes Closet with help from volunteers and community
service workers who sort the clothes that are donated for the Clothes
Closet. In our warehouse, Russel keeps our trucks running, while Bill and
Ronnie are busy picking up food product that has been donated from local
businesses. We thank the volunteers who also help with this task. We
deeply appreciate all our hardworking staff and our many volunteers who
help us carry out our mission. We couldn’t do it without them. For more information
on how you can help, donate or take a tour of our facility and meet
our staff in person, please call 668-4853.

Hunger

Today, 4.6 million
Californians, including
1.8 million children live in poverty.
A recent study
of 75 food and shelter providers in
California shows the situation is getting worse.
