MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The “We Be Cookin' Club” at Middletown High School donated $900 worth of nonperishable foods to the Middletown Methodist Food Program on Tuesday, April 10.

“Thankfully Bill Miller of the Lake County Hunger Task Force and Lisa Rosen of the Summer Meal Program for Students had stopped by the church just in time to assist Club Supervisor Jim Marschall and former Middletown High teacher Elsie Thompson unload more than 80 cases of food,” according to Pastor Voris Brumfield.

“This is such a blessing,” said Brumfield. “Never have we received such a huge one-time gift, and all from students baking and selling cookies.”

Marschall told Brumfield, “Each year the club receives $150 from the district and for the past 10 years through our cookie sales we have purchased computers, desks, and chairs. We are teaching the kids that giving can be a wonderful thing.”
 
The food will be distributed during the fourth Wednesday food distribution at the Methodist Church from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at 15851 Armstrong St. and through emergency requests, which can be made by phoning 707-295-7174.
