Federal program…local impact!

Today we shared more about the USDA’s Farmers to Families Food Box Program, which continues to make an impact with the Tuesday distribution at Croton (Irongate Equestrian and Event Center, 9am-5pm) and in Mount Vernon on Wednesdays (Lakeholm Church parking lot; Great Milk Giveaway, 5:00-6:30pm).

The USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is partnering with national, regional and local distributors, whose workforces have been significantly impacted by the closure of restaurants, hotels and other food service businesses, to purchase up to $4 billion in fresh produce, dairy and meat products from American producers of all sizes. Round 4 was just approved Friday 10/23 for another $500 million.

The program supplies food boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meat products and a combination box of fresh produce, dairy or meat products.

Distributors will package these products into family-sized boxes, then transport them to food banks, community and faith-based organizations, and other non-profits serving Americans in need.

You can hear more of Marcy Rinehart’s conversation with Jeff Davidson of Global Vision Alliance and Theresa Gregory of Irongate by clicking here.

Today’s Who Knew? Trivia, to win a $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup:

Q: I was born on this date in 1914 in New York City. I was a medical researcher and virologist – I created the polio vaccine. Who am I?
A: Jonas Salk

DIY apple butter…and cider!

It’s that time for the fall flavors of apples, pumpkin spice…so many colors…I love this time of year. You know, apples make me think of two of my favorite memories from childhood:

  • going on an apple picking field trip in 1st grade
  • going to a church gathering where we enjoyed slow-cooked apple butter out of a pot on a chilly Saturday night

I have always wanted to try to make my own apple butter…and now I know how! This is what you need:

  • 6 1/2 pounds apples – peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Find the instructions from My Baking Addiction by clicking here!

and what about apple cider? You can make that, too! Find out what you need by clicking here from Give Me Some Oven.

Today’s trivia: “In 2018, I surpassed Red Delicious as the apple cultivar with the highest production in the United States. It was the first time in over 50 years that any cultivar was produced more than Red Delicious. What type of apple am I?”

The answer? I am a GALA apple! Congratulations to Ruth from Mount Vernon who wins the $5 gift certificate to Everlasting Cup.

Thanks for listening!

New Music From Jordan Feliz! It Is The Afternoon Drive!

Alyssa & Lexie shared artist news and played a riveting game of song poetry!

Alyssa shares about a brand new album from Jordan Feliz. Check out the full story HERE.

Lexie shares an exciting announcement that Matthew West won ASCAP’s Christian songwriter of the year! Read the full story HERE.

” There’s a sign on the door, says, “Come as you are” but I doubt it

’cause if we lived like it was true, every Sunday morning pew would be

crowded. But didn’t you say the church should look more like a hospital

a safe place for the sick, the sinner and te scarred and the prodigals like me.

Matthew West- Truth Be Told

Thank you so much for listening to The Afternoon Drive!
