Food costs put crimp in arts program

A plea from the AVA Center in Gillette:

Higher Food Costs are Hurting AVA’s Art & Leadership Program!

If you have extra food to donate, the Art & Leadership Program can use your help.

We could use fruits, veggies, bread, wraps, granola bars, bagels, crackers, pretzels, lunch meat, cheese, etc. If you bring it, we'll use it. Homemade food is always welcome.

Part of our program is to encourage healthy eating, so no junk food please.

Also, donations to the Art & Leadership program are welcome to help us make it through this summer’s high costs.

For this first session (July 14-24) we have 35 people to feed two snacks and one lunch per day, for the next session (July 28-August 5) we have 45 people to feed each day. Food can be delivered to AVA Community Art Center, 509 W. Second St., anytime during business hours, Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Thanks for your help!
