AFFORDABLE FOOD

The Treasure Box provides families and individuals with a substantial box of grocery store quality food retailing between $65-100 for just $30 each. Churches can purchase boxes and distribute them as an outreach to the hungry in the community, or individuals can purchase them to stretch their food dollar during tough economic times.
