HONOR ROLL
[Stop]
Individuals in the Brazos Valley who face hunger oftentimes don’t have the means to purchase fresh produce.
 
The food insecure of the Brazos Valley, according to Hunger in America 2014, (in which BVFB participated), are dealing with difficult health issues (89% report having a person in their household with high blood pressure and 51% report having a person in their household with diabetes) and are using coping strategies to cope with their food insecurity (90% purchase inexpensive, unhealthy food).
 
You are the solution to making produce accessible to our hungry neighbors in need.
The Brazos Valley Food Bank can get produce from the Collaborative for Fresh Produce, a co-op for food banks, for on average $0.10/lb. 
The fruits and vegetables may have blemishes, or may be misshaped, but they are nutritious
If you have a dime, you can help BVFB save and distribute a pound of produce to someone in need.  10 cents = 1 pound of produce
