A special “ thank you” to all of our incredible women that donated both food, money and clothing to the Cooperative Feeding Program.  The Cooperative Feeding Program helps individuals and families when they fall into economic hardship by providing counseling and support to help them out of the throes of difficult times.  CFP also distributes millions of meals to Broward County residents along with many other services.

On a personal note, I was very proud of myself when I loaded my SUV from top to bottom with boxes and bags of food.   When I got to CFP and unloaded all of this food I found out that I had only collected about l000 pounds of food.   I found out that they go through l0,000 pounds of food a day.  There are all kinds of ways you can help  CFP during the year.  For more information, please call:  Jan Bullard at 954-448-4822.

Jan Bullard would like to personally invite you to two of her favorite upcoming events:
