If you do any grocery shopping you know that $30.00 does not buy much these days. Through an organization called Treasure Box<\/a> you can buy a box of food containing 2-3 meats, 2-3 vegetables and\/or fruits, and 2-3 side dishes or desserts for only $30. All the food is frozen and the contents of each box is worth $65 to $100. With so many people struggling to keep their homes, buy presents for their children, and put food on the table, you can help by donating $30.00 for a box of food that will provide a week of lunch and dinners for a family of four or a about a month of meals for a senior.<\/p>\n Good Source Solutions, a Carlsbad food distribution company, started Treasure Box a year ago in response to rising food prices in the midst of the worst recession this country has seen in decades. The company works with over 500 food manufacturers across the country to provide top quality, nutritious food and distributes the boxes through faith based and community action organizations.
