The My Brother's Keeper Food Assistance Program has grown 22% over the past 4 years but our donations of non perishable food haven't kept pace. Our costs are up 30% due to increased need during the recession and higher food prices.

Here's our "Top 10 List" of the items we frequently purchase because they are always in short supply:

1. peanut butter
2. jelly
3. tuna fish
4. canned vegetables
5. canned soup
6. canned fruit
7. pasta
8. pasta sauce
9. macaroni and cheese
10. rice

In addition to these food items, we also need important personal hygiene items like:

1. toilet paper
2. paper towels
3. diapers (all sizes)

Consider running a food drive in your neighborhood with the help of this flyer.

Many times each winter, My Brother's Keeper makes deliveries in homes where the oven door in the kitchen is open— it's the family's only source of heat because they're out of oil.

Though Heating Assistance is not one of our core programs, we can't just stand by as a Christian ministry and ignore this critically important need, especially when government programs are experiencing sharp cuts. Funds for LIHEAP (Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program) are currently 28% less than last year even though prices of heating oil are higher this year.

Each year, My Brother's Keeper commits a minimum of $10,000 to help families pay their heating bills in partnership with a local agency. Will you help?

Two important points: 100% of your donation for heating assistance will go to heating assistance and all recipients receive a crucifix as a reminder that it is Christ who hears and answers their prayers.
