Buy foods not usually donated in the amounts we need, like meat, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruits.
Buy nonfood supplies. For example, carryout containers and plastic film for our meal deliveries.
Repair or replace equipment in the kitchen.
Pay the rent on the dining room.
Pay for building maintenance, utilities, insurance.

Gifts of Time
We need volunteers to:
Prepare meals, serve, and clean in the dining room.
Deliver meals to homes.
Pick up food from donation sites.
We also need people to get involved in the organization, to help maintain RFDB so that we can continue our programs and grow to meet the need.
Ask your company to sponsor one or two volunteer-days per month, when employees take turns delivering meals, serving meals, or sorting food.
