We are excited to share news about the expansion of our Bounty to Blessings & Harvest Hub Programs! This initiative is making a significant impact in our community by addressing food insecurity in Dover. Our mission is simple yet profound: to ensure that no one goes hungry. This month, September 2024, we were able to provide 400 PowerPaks and 400 other meals to those who have food insecurity.

How It Works

Through our program, we partner with restaurants and care groups to collect donations of pre-made sandwiches. These sandwiches serve as a vital source of protein and are a key ingredient in our PowerPaks—nutritious meal kits designed to nourish individuals and families in need.

Each PowerPak is thoughtfully assembled to provide a well-rounded meal, including:

• A protein-rich P&B sandwich
• A healthy snack (often protein bars, crackers, popcorn, or pretzels)
• A delightful dessert (we strive to include fruit when possible)
• A refreshing bottle of water

Community Support

We are grateful for the generous in-kind donations we receive, which allow us to include a variety of snacks and beverages in our PowerPaks. Local businesses, organizations and individuals have rallied behind this initiative, contributing items like snacks, fruit cups and bottled water, which help us create balanced meals for those we serve.

The Impact

With every PowerPak we distribute, we’re not just providing food; we’re offering hope and support to our neighbors facing food insecurity. The need is significant, and together, we can make a difference. Our dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to ensure that these meal kits reach those who need them most.
