A BIG thank you to Sanger Unified School District's TARGET program! These students recently harvested fresh vegetables like swiss chard, purple fresh broccoli, cilantro, and purple cauliflower and donated it to the Amendola Family Student Cupboard.

Fresno Metro Ministry is at the Student Cupboard TODAY until 2 p.m. to continue our conversations this week on CalFresh! While you're there, make sure to pick up some produce and other great items to stock your kitchen.
