Cold wholesome foods are not now a possibility for poor children and elders who visit the Okiciyap Food Pantry in Isabel, South Dakota, because the 35 year old refrigerator at the Okiciyap Food Pantry is unreliable. Okiciyap (we help) Group at Daily Kos is determined to raise enough money to replace the old refrigerator with a new one so they can run their summer feeding program, offering nutritious meals at breakfast and lunch.
We published a full diary on Sunday, but it was the peak of "Romney Retires Retroactively", and we couldn't get near the rec list. We didn't reach our goal of $845 to purchase and ship a 25 cu.ft, side-by-side Whirlpool refrigerator.
Please, help us help. Any donation is welcome, no matter the size.Here is a comment from Spirit Dancer about the cost of food for the pantry:
Still, did you know all it takes is $0.18 to buy a pound of food? $1.80 for 10 pounds, $18.00 for 100 pounds and so on. The folks they serve bring their change in too.Don't forget my 18 cents a day challenge - that's roughly $5.50 a month... how about it folks? are ya in?!
