Unless you've lived in a cave for the last several years, you've noticed that food prices have been steadily increasing. At Charlotte Rescue Mission, we have a lot of our food donated but since we serve about 450 meals a day (even during the Summer), we have to purchase a significant amount as well.
For several years now, we have been known for our $1.79 meal price thanks to donated food and volunteer kitchen help. However, due to rising food costs, our average meal price has increased to about $1.92. If you receive communication from us from here on out, it will reflect this new amount.
$1.92 is still an incredibly low price considering the quality of what is served. $1.92 doesn't just buy some dry rice & beans. When we say "meal", we mean a hot, balanced meal served with a drink and usually a dessert or pastry. Interested in serving a meal? Contact Andria Tindall to find out more about volunteer opportunities.
