🍉 Hello, August! ☀️

A new month means new opportunities to help our community and keep our neighbors fed! ❤️

🌻 Fun August Facts:
🍉 August is named after Augustus Caesar, the first Roman emperor.
🌽 August is one of the biggest harvest months of the year, bringing fresh fruits and vegetables to our tables.
🌻 Sunflowers are at their peak bloom this month, reminding us that even in the hottest days, beautiful things can grow.
🍅 Fresh produce is one of the best parts of summer, which is why our monthly food distributions often include seasonal fruits and vegetables when available!

📅 Be sure to check out our August Distribution Calendar so you don't miss your food box opportunities.

💚 At Elko FISH, we're grateful for our amazing volunteers, donors, and community members who make it possible to serve families every month. Together, we're helping ensure no one has to face hunger alone.

🌞 We hope you have a safe, happy, and healthy August!
