Fresh Food For Families
Due to nationwide budget cuts, millions of families are feeling a financial pinch. It is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with the rising cost of everyday products. Prices on taxes, tolls, food and fuel are increasing, but the weekly pay check stays the same or possibly reduced. People can no longer afford the same luxuries as they could before? At Christ Church Newark, we have found a way for families to save money on their monthly grocery bill without compromising their quality of life… Christ Church Newark has partnered with a Wholesale food distributor called Jolin Foods.
