SUPPORT THE FOOD BANKS

Support the Letter Carriers' Food drive on Saturday, May 11th.
Letter carriers in our area will collect donations of non-perishable
food items left next to mailboxes, delivering them to local food
banks in Houma, Thibodaux and Raceland.  Residents in our
area are invited to set donations by their mailboxes in the morning
or before their carrier delivers mail on May 11th.  In the Thibodaux area,
volunteers will begin picking items up at 9:00 am (Please do not
include items that have expired or that are in glass jars.)

MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger
Rural & Remote Initiative

The Thibodaux Good Samaritan Food Bank is honored to be one of nine organizations selected from across the nation for a pilot project recently launched by MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger.  MAZON'S Rural & Remote Initiative, supported by the generous funding from the Wal-Mart Foundation, is a groundbreaking national capacity-building effort designed to reduce the prevalence of hunger in rural and remote areas of the country.

This initiative will help rural anti-hunger organizations acknowledge and leverage their strengths to address food insecurity in their community. MAZON will provide training and technical assistance in four critical areas – leadership and management; fundraising; advocacy; and community and coalition building – as well as financial support to enable their progress in these areas.

On October 2012, the Food Bank' Advisory Board hosted a site visit with MAZON staff to begin our work on this initiative.  In January 2013, two food bank staff members attended the official day long kickoff meeting at MAZON's Los Angeles office.  At this meeting, all nine partners met with one-on-one with MAZON staff to work on our long-term plan and how the initiative could best support our vision.

The Thibodaux Food Bank's Advisory Board has met frequently to finalize our five year vision and to begin the process of putting the vision into action.  We are excited to work with MAZON and the other eight organizations on our common goal of ensuring greater food security.
