We have 2 projects for the month of November. The first one is something that everyone can participate in - we'll be collecting food for area food banks.
We're asking that everyone extend this to their family & friends for your holiday celebrations. When your group is discussing what to bring for your holiday gathering, ask that everyone also bring a donation for your local food bank. You don't even have to be hosting, just ask your host to participate!
To make things even easier, we have created a sign to hang up at work/church/groups (or where ever you might set up a donation box) listing all of the possible donations the Food Bank accepts. This might help give people ideas of what they can clean out of the cupboards and closets! If you would like a sign, please email emily.andres@gmail.com.
In the past 2 years, Giving Back has collected over 500 pounds of food!
We will also be serving dinner at the Ronald McDonald House on Wednesday, November 25th (the day before Thanksgiving.) If you are interested, please comment here or email karla_bates@hotmail.com & let me know what you'd like to help with (preparing dinner, serving, or donating $ to buy some groceries.)
We will be bringing the pop tabs at this time, so let me know if you have some to send along!
