Looking for a fun project for a group of families to dig into? Buy cost-effective bulk quantities of pinto beans or rice, then downsize them into family-size portions to be distributed to low-income families. About 2 cups would go into 2-quart reclosable plastic bags, for use by people visiting a food shelf. The Caring Connection team at Greater Twin Cities United Way will find a convenient food shelf where you can deliver the bags. Call Julie Dyste at 612-340-7440 for more information.
