$91 for Lettuce!!
We all know how bad the inflation has gotten over the past several months. I just had to share this with you and ask for your help.
Produce is a huge part of our animals’ diets here at FFAS. We buy lettuce by the case. In August the lettuce cost us $28 for one case. Last week the same case cost $70.
Today the exact same case of lettuce is $91 !!!
So lettuce alone at this price costs us $365 per week. This does not include the cost for other produce such as carrots, grapes, bananas, etc.
We go through several cases each week. We do work with some local markets and farms that donate produce to us when they can, but it is still not enough.
Winter is coming and with that comes extra added expenses as well.
We know times are tough for everyone. Our donations have decreased dramatically. But if you can donate, we would be very appreciative. Every little bit helps.
