This year, as every year, I am giving a $50/hr (up to two hours) discount on our date to everyone who donates three canned items to my drive.
Last year the charity I donated to was thrilled with my food drive! This year, because I'll be at home, I'm also donating my time to serve those less fortunate on Thanksgiving.
I will be here all of November and hope to have a fabulous turn out so that we can all give to those in need!
(Just went to the grocery store and you can get a lot of things like spaghetti, etc. 10/$5! That would be awesome!)
Here is the food bank's wishlist of most needed items:
Canned meat, canned tuna, canned ham, canned salmon, canned stew, canned
spam, mac and cheese, canned soups, rice, beans, Canned milk and powdered milk, Bisquick, baking mixes, boxed cereal, oatmeal, flour, sugar, shelf-stable meal stretchers-instant mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, bar soap, deodorant, shaving products, diapers, baby wipes (no baby food or formula please), toilet paper, paper towels, plastic storage bags, i.e. baggies/Ziploc bags, soy, almond and rice milk, gluten-free baking mixes, gluten free canned/boxed soups, rice pasta, gluten free-mac and cheese, rice cereal, alternative nut
butters (almond, sunflower, cashew and walnut)
Thank you in advance (and I'll definitely thank you later!) for anything you can do!
