🐔Ground chicken deserves more attention!

If you are looking for an affordable, protein-packed ingredient, ground chicken is a great option. It's a lean source of protein, cooks quickly, and easily takes on the flavors of your favorite seasoning. Pair it with fiber-rich black beans, and you've got a delicious, nutritious, and satisfying meal.

A gift like this creates a lasting impact in our community🧡

We are incredibly grateful to the Rotary Club of Arlington, WA for their generous $25,000 contribution to support our Meals 'til Monday program. This funding will help ensure that local children have access to nutritious food when school means aren't available.

Thank you to the Rotary Club and to everyone who participated in, and supported the Great Stilly Duck Dash! Your generosity helps make sure children and families in our community have the nourishment that they need.

Together, we are making a difference-one meal, one child, and one act of kindness at a time! We wouldn't be able to do any of this without the support of our community.

From the bottom of our heart, thank you🧡💜
