Wheat Community Connections

Did you know that twice per month The Joseph and Leslie Carr Foundation provides meals to 65 + people through Wheat Community Connections?

Well, what is Wheat exactly and what do they do?  

WHEAT Community Connections has served residents of the Greater Clinton area since 1982 and in 2012 became a direct service program of the United Way of Tri-County. WHEAT continues to be a local organization supporting local residents through care, compassion and quality programs and services.

WHEAT Community Café provides homemade lunches for pick up Monday through Friday from 12:30–1:30. The Cafe also provides lunches for delivery to local housing authorities and pick up at our main location Monday through Friday from 12:30pm - 1:30pm. Homemade dinners are served Monday through Friday from 5:00 - 6:00 pm.

Wheat also provides a free food pantry, outdoor market place, case management services and a thrift store. They are an amazing asset to our local community and we are proud to be able to help out.

Once per month we sponsor a meal, providing the necessary funds to assist in feeding 65 + people. For our second meal of the month, a group of friends/family get together to prepare and cook a full meal. Our meatball subs and fries have become a local favorite! Served along with a salad and a tasty cookie, the meals are always very well received.

This month, our friends and longtime contributors, the Miot and Ligon family stepped up to help at WHEAT, pumping out our world renowned meatball subs for those in need. We are thankful for our friends!
