Every Saturday of every month, Whitney United Methodist Church provides free brown bag lunches between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to anyone living within the 83705 zip code. Different organizations and churches contribute volunteer to this effort including Boy Scout Troop 49, the Whitney United Methodist Men, and Hillview United Methodist Church.
During 2008 Saturday Lunches prepared 4836 sack lunches in response to 738 requests with 174 of them going to first time recipients.
In the past a portion of the cost of this outreach has been funded by grants from The FRED MEYER FOUNDATION and The UNITED WAY.
Peter’s Pantry is an outgrowth of Whitney United Methodist unique Partners In Education relationship with Whitney Elementary School located right across the street. Those in need of food are able to obtain it (no more than once a month) from the church office between 9:30 a.m. and Noon weekdays.
During 2008 Peter's Pantry served 3,992 recipients (up from 3,276 in 2007) with enough food for 35,928 meals (up from 29,484 in 2007)!
All food comes from the Idaho FoodBank and in the past a portion of the expense of this programs have been funded by grants from the FRED MEYER FOUNDATION and THE UNITED WAY.
Idaho FoodBank Food Costs Approximately 1/11 Of Store Prices!
As an illustration of how much money is saved by purchasing food for the needy from The IdahoFoodbank, Johnna and Malcom Dunten priced a typical Peter's Pantry box of food designed to feed a family of 4 people for 3 days (36 meals). At 15 cents/pound handling fee, it would cost $4.05 from the Idaho FoodBank or 1/11 the retail cost of $44.64 at a local grocery store.
Rather than purchase and donate food from retail outlets, those wishing to support Peter's Pantry are encouraged to make designated cash gifts to the program so over 10 times more food can be purchased for the same amount at the IdahoFoodbank.
