With demand as high as ever, food shelves everywhere continue to deliver. At the revamped Tracy Kitchen Table Food Shelf, the supply continues to keep pace with the public demand, and two local donations will ensure that holds true well into the future.
The Tracy Eagles Club has donated $2,264 for a new freezer, which will be filled with 400 pounds of meat thanks to the donation of two pigs from Fultz Farms, which is also donating a pig to food shelves in Marshall and Westbrook.
“We realized that there’s a tremendous need out there; we’ve always kind of known there’s a tremendous need,” said Tracy farmer Jay Fultz. “We’ve volunteered time there, but for us to actually be able to provide a very healthy, protein-dense food to the food shelf, it just made a lot of sense. It’s something my family has always done. This is a way to hit a lot of people in a very short amount of time.”
