EXTRA HELP FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN General Information: Fayette County Community Action Food Bank, in conjunction with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, will be getting funding for families with children to receive additional product boxes from June through September 2010. Treats & Eats from A to Z Cook Books
The Fayette County Community Action Agency, Inc. Food Bank's cookbook, Treats & Eats from A to Z, is on sale now.
The cookbook contains 450 recipes from staff, friends, and family of the FCCAA Food Bank. Approximately 80 of the recipes in the cookbook are recipes used by the FCCAA nutritionists and dieticians through the Nutrition Education and WIC Programs. The recipes are perfect if you are trying to lower your cholesterol, have diabetes, or are watching what you eat. These recipes are included in the "This & That" section of Treats & Eats from A to Z.
We are asking you to make a $5 tax deductible donation for the cookbook. Each donation will provide $200 worth of food to 200 residents in Fayette County. We believe this is an excellent return on your investment. If we mail the cookbook to you, we are asking that you enclose an additional $3 to cover postage.
