"Treasure Box is an outstanding program that allows our church members to help others and sometimes even help themselves. By being able to buy a box of quality food for others in need at such a reduced rate means that a great many people can help those who have fallen on bad times in our current economy. The people who run the Treasure Box program have proven themselves to be of the highest integrity and professionalism. I would recommend this program for anyone."
Pastor John Steward, head pastor at Mount of Olives Church, Mission Viejo, CA
"I want to say how much I love working with all the people who help me. If I didn't have their help and dedication to our ministry, I would not be able to do it. Thank so much and God Bless" Stephanie Michaud, Coordinator Faith Lutheran Church, Riverside, CA
"May I say once again that these boxes are beautiful gifts and we appreciate the Church members' generosity very, very much. What a great gift! And they are so needed! Today, one of the parents brought lunch to our five volunteers in the office. He wanted us to see how he had used one of the chickens he received in his last box. He saved it all month so he could let us taste his recipe. It was wonderful and it went a long way, because he mixed it with rice and other ingredients. He said he really enjoys cooking for his family from the Treasure Box ingredients. (He earns $10.50 an hour working as a kitchen helper in a restaurant. He has a family of five to support and the box is really helping them get through the month.) The chicken he cooked served 11 people -- our five volunteers, one new parent who had come to SPIN for help, and the chef's family of five. Kinda reminds me of the loaves and fishes story."
Joni Halpern, Director, Supportive Parents Information Network (SPIN), San Diego, CA

"You know, it amazes me at the amount of food provided for a mere $30 - and the quality is incredible. You guys are my life savers! And you even provide service with a smile! It's so totally worth it! Thank you for all you do for those of us who are simply struggling right now. I will commit to paying it forward!"
Tamara L., Laguna Nigel, CA
"I have just finished unpacking our first box from The Treasure Box and I have to say that I am so impressed with the contents. It's definitely not what I was expecting. I have been out of work for sometime now and, at times, it has been difficult to make ends meet for me and my daughter. Having the opportunity to purchase food at a discount price means I won't have to go on Public Assistance. Your organization is a blessing to many and I can't thank you and your volunteers enough. I have truly been blessed." Northridge, CA
