On March 18th, 2021 the David Kelby Johnson Memorial Foundation was proud to support Building Youth Around The World to meet the urgent food needs of many Montezuma Creek families living on the Navajo Nation.
“We stocked the Tribal Four Corners Pantry with 5000lbs of pantry basics such as
flour, cereal, peanut butter, canned fruits and vegetables, beans, soup, and pasta
provide the ingredients for nutritious and filling meals. This will be distributed
to residents across the entire area for several months to come.
We provided 10 families with $200 grocery coupons which allowed them to buy
the food and hygiene supplies that will meet their needs during the month.
Part of the donation was used to fill 5 Thanksgiving boxes. Each box was filled
with 100+ pounds of ham, turkey, potatoes, cocoa, pumpkin pies, and nonperishable
canned foods to last the family food for 1-2 months.”
