OGDENSBURG -- The First Presbyterian Church is offering a package of 12 quality meat and grocery items for $20.95 under its Food $en$e program.

Food $en$e is a monthly food program for individuals and families who want to stretch their monthly food budget. There are no eligibility requirements, and you can buy as much as you want.

Once each month, people who want to participate simply sign up at the church, pre-paying $20.50 in cash, check or EBT voucher. Later in the month, when the food package is ready to be picked up, the customers return to the church to pick up their order.

The monthly Food $en$e package includes: meat items (4 to 5), such as quality, beef patties, boneless/skinless chicken breasts, Italian sausage, and fish fillets; avariety of staple items (4 to 5), such as boxes of spaghetti, long-grain rice, or egg noodles, and staples like eggs and cans of soup; and fresh fruits or vegetables (2) are included, such as cauliflower, baby cut carrots, grape tomatoes or salad mix.

The produce items are often determined by the holiday or time of year.
