Clearwater- Clear Lake Food Shelf Food shelf has been awarded a grant in the amount of $7000 from the Foundation for Essential Needs (FFEN). This grant will be used to improve the electrical infrastructure at the food shelf and purchase additional refrigeration and freezer space. 

 

Through Second Harvest we have been paired with Coborn’s in Clearwater and Target in Monticello to receive rescue food such as produce and bakery items that would otherwise be wasted.  

 

The grant will enable us to utilize high efficiency appliances with glass doors and much needed addition refrigeration storage, giving clients the ability to see what is available before opening the doors. We are hoping to decrease the carbon footprint of the food shelf with the help of these improvements as we provide healthy offerings for our clients.

 

FFEN will also offer additional support to help us achieve this goal.
