The Community Bag supports Education, Health &amp; Wellness, Hunger Relief, Civic and Military\/Veterans organizations. Attached to the Community Bag is the Giving Tag, which allows the shopper to direct the $1 purchase donation to any cause of their choice.<\/p><p>This exciting innovation of the B4MC program allows for a much broader base of non-profits to receive donations through the program and empowers the shopper the power to help the non-profits that are making a difference in their communities.

And 49% have high blood pressure, also caused by factors like being overweight and consuming excessive salt. We\u2019ve all seen kids on the metro eating chips on their way to school; that\u2019s because 70% of those we serve report purchasing \u201cinexpensive, unhealthy\u201d food as the primary way they cope with not have consistent access to nutritious food. Not only are our clients dealing with diet related illnesses and making ends meet with unhealthy food, but they are relying on food pantries more often to make ends meet.<\/p><p>So we decided to do something about it: this July the Capital Area Food Bank launched a new initiative called Partners for Wellness. By recognizing our food assistance partners\u2014the non-profits who receive food from the CAFB and distribute it in neighborhoods across DC, Maryland and Virginia\u2014who are committed to distributing healthy food and pairing it with nutrition resources for their clients, we will see a positive impact in the community.<\/p><p>The initiative builds on the work of our Food Resources team, who source all of the CAFB\u2019s food from farmers, retailers, manufacturers, and other donors. They developed a system to track the nutritional value of our food by looking at home much salt, sugar, and fiber is in the fruits, vegetables, and groceries we distribute. This effort, led by our staff dietitian Jodi Balis, and in collaboration with our food assistance partners, doctors, and public health experts, has enabled us understand the health of our inventory.<\/p><p>Now, through Partners for Wellness, we\u2019re making this information transparent to our partners, who will be able to see the nutritional value of the food they access through us via nutrition reports and on our online menu. All partners will benefit from wellness resources we have made available. Recipe cards and produces guides are readily available on our website and partners can order hundreds of recipe cards off the menu at no cost when they shop.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-25214\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"14\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-25214\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Phoenix Computers <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-25214\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"14\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-25214\"><p>Phoenix Computers SM\u00a0accepts donations of new and\u00a0used computers, equipment and software.

That\u2019s 12% of our region\u2019s mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, and grandparents.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-25218\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"18\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-25218\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">The American Red Cross <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-25218\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"18\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-25218\"><p>The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization that provides relief to victims of disaster and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergency situations.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-25219\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"19\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-25219\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">The Wawa Foundation <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-25219\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"19\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-25219\"><p>he Wawa Foundation COVID-19 Emergency Food Distribution Fund was established on March 20 to support food banks or qualified 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations that are providing services to local communities to support food distribution efforts in Wawa\u2019s service areas in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Florida and Washington, D.C., and encourages requests for support to be submitted immediately while funds remain.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-25220\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"20\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-25220\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Walmart<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-25220\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"20\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-25220\"><p>Serving Local Communities<\/p><p>Facility Giving:\u00a0Walmart awards grants to local organizations\u00a0making a difference on key issues in communities where Walmart Stores, clubs and distribution center associates live and work.

A new program must be in operation for up to three months before becoming eligible to<br \/>receive food bank product.<br \/>31. All member programs will be visited at least once every two years. During this visit food bank staff will update<br \/>program files, inspect storage areas, discuss program\u2019s participation in the food bank and make sure sites have<br \/>the information needed to make the best use of the food bank. Refusal to permit food bank monitor visits at the<br \/>program site can result in suspension and termination of the program.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4115\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4115\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Letter of agreement <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4115\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4115\"><p>Name of Agency____________________________________________________<br \/>Warrants that during active partnership said agency will receive food products from the Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB)<br \/>and will inspect and approve that above described food is fit for human consumption.<br \/>It is further agreed that:<br \/>1.
