Westlake Village offers opportunity to stretch food dollars

SHERBURNE – Westlake Village in Sherburne brings the Food Bank of Central New York’s Food $en$e Program to area residents.
The Food $en$e program is designed to increase self-suffiency by helping individuals stretch their food dollars. The Food Bank of CNY purchases food items in large quantities and this savings is passed on to the program’s participants.
Monthly Food $en$e packages are created by the Food Bank and then a newsletter is generated and distributed to each Site Coordinator. The Site Coordinator for Sherburne is Westlake Village resident Barb Huggins, 674-1582. Barb is responsible for taking orders from customers and then placing the orders with Roots and Wings in Norwich, which in turn places orders from throughout the County with the Food Bank.
The monthly newsletter includes information for the Coordinators, a description of the current month’s Food $en$e package, the projected package for the following month, and recipes for using the food items in the unit.
There are no income restrictions. Anyone may participate. The cost of the unit is $15.50; participants pre-pay with cash of EBT card and pick up their Food $en$e packages at the end of the month at the Common House at Westlake Village.
A food unit contains 12 items, including fresh fruit and vegetables, meats and staple food items. It typically doubles the value paid for the unit. For example the November package will contain 2# turkey roast pan, 1# ground pork, 1# fish sticks, 1# frozen broccoli, 3# fresh mashed potatoes, 10.5 oz. turkey gravy, 16 oz. cranberry sauce, 6 oz. stuffing mix, 15 oz. sweet potatoes, 2/4.5 oz pies, and two fresh produce items. Each month five specials are also available. Specials are items such as a spiral ham, stuffed chicken breasts; 5 pounds sliced American cheese, 12/8 oz. hot pockets, Italian sausage or fish such as tilapia or salmon.
The next Food $En$e orders are due at Westlake Village a 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21. Please stop by and pick up an order form for December, if you think you may be interested in participating in this program.
