"Forgotten Harvest's Grocery Hope: A Protein Donation's Impact"

Protein Shortage at Forgotten Harvest

Annmarie Zaremba, Director of Food Sourcing at Forgotten Harvest, highlights the struggle they face with obtaining protein. "We struggle with protein here," she says. "Protein is one of the things that's hardest for us to source." This shortage poses a challenge as protein is a crucial component of a balanced diet and often the most expensive item at the grocery store.

As prices continue to rise, families sometimes have to forego protein, which can have a negative impact on their health and well-being. The team at Forgotten Harvest understands the importance of providing protein to those in need and is grateful for donations like the one from E.W. Grobbel.

The Donation from E.W. Grobbel

E.W. Grobbel, a family-based food company, has made a significant contribution by donating and delivering over 7,000 units of protein to Forgotten Harvest. This donation includes packages of corned beef, beef brisket, and other meats.

Jason Grobbel, CEO of E.W. Grobbel, emphasizes the group effort among their 400 employees. "Our entire team is proud and passionate about helping share all of the good things they do for folks who are needy in the community. It's a group effort among our 400 employees. We know how important Forgotten Harvest is."

Distribution and Impact

Forgotten Harvest distributes food to over 250 partner agencies, and the meat donations from E.W. Grobbel will be divided among these groups and distributed across the community. This will ensure that a large number of families have access to much-needed protein.

The impact of this donation goes beyond just providing food. It gives hope to families who are struggling to make ends meet and helps them maintain a balanced diet. It also shows the power of community support and the importance of organizations like Forgotten Harvest in addressing food insecurity.
