Palatka Daily News Reader's Choice

Palatka Daily News readers blessed Feed the Need of Putnam County and voted for us for the Civic Organization category! We received Honorable Mention! We are truly HONORED and hope this creates more of an awareness of our mission at Feed the Need in feeding local food insecure children! Thank you to all FTN volunteers, you play a HUGE part in making it all happen!

Smucker's Corporation Jif Peanut Butter Donation

A big shout out of appreciation to the Smucker’s Corporation in Lexington Kentucky for the Jif peanut butter donation that they sent to Feed the Need! Once again, they extended a donation to Feed the Need of Putnam County (operating out of Palatka). This could not happen without Bill and Josey Curtis’ dedication to help feeding local students right here at home. Not only do we get peanut butter donated, but Josey also finds a way to get it shipped to Florida at no charge. A big thank you to Ralph Case and Bill Curtis for going and picking up the peanut butter from Starke. A shout out to No Kid Hungry for the flat bed trailer that was awarded through a grant. We could not pick up food without this type of support!

There are so many things that can be done to help FTN meet its mission of feeding 800 food insecure children. It takes a village to feed these students weekly. Food drives, community group donations, and individual donations keep Feed the Need’s goals on target! Volunteers and community support are ongoing needs!! Contact Denise @ 386-937-3862 to see how you can serve and work with FTN.

Thank You to Bob and Carlene Emery

Thank you isn't big enough, but THANK YOU Bob and Carlene for all of the hard work you put into the new Feed the Need warehouse to help prep it for FTN to move in! They did all of the trim and baseboards and meticulously repainted the cabinets, saving FTN a lot funds that will instead go to feeding local students!

Bob Emery, our volunteer carpenter and Carlene Emery our faithful warehouse volunteer, finished the inside of the offices at our new building.
