From COVID-19, to inflation, to Climate Change impact and food supply disruption, this year is closing on a challenging note for folks and families who face food-insecurity.
Starting November 30th until December 11th, follow us at @QuestFoodExchange and be part of #12DaysofQuest as we move through 12 food groups we’re hoping to secure, month-to-month, across Quest grocery markets in 2022. Today’s feature food is:
BREAD
Over the recent years, this calorific, gluten-dense carbohydrate called bread has gained a bad reputation for having high amounts of sugar. Thus, it has been placed into the “bad food” category. However, at Quest, we understand the importance of including the correct type of bread in one’s daily diet. Bread provides energy in the form of carbohydrates and has other essential nutrients, such as fiber and calcium. That’s why bread is the following staple item we want to secure for 2022 in all of our five markets, as it is part of a well-balanced diet.
The Quest Difference
Bread is a major staple in the daily lives of Quest clients. Thanks to our Food Partners, we can sell bread at $.80 a loaf, that’s almost $1 less than what you would find at traditional grocery markets. We keep our prices extra low because we know our client communities count every penny.
Help ensure Quest Clients have access to apples and other critical grocery items 12 months of the year. Donate to Quest today! And stay tuned for Day 10 of #12DaysofQuest for some crunchy talk.
