You might remember yesterday we posted pictures of the food we collected for our Backpack Buddies program. What I haven't had time to show you (until now) is the second round of food and gift cards that we found at the school yesterday afternoon. It was another 2 carloads of food!!!
Earlier this morning, we organized the food and over today, distributed these items to our Backpack families. They should now have enough food to get them through the next week.
So many people made this possible. THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS!!!
And I know more people want to help!
Another collection day is planned for Friday morning from 8:00 - 10:00 in the front parking lot at the Creek. Feel free to bring items by or help with sorting.
OR if you don't want to leave your house, feel free to ship items to Marie Dexter's house. Please email me for my address.
Here are the items we need:
- Food Lion gift cards
- canned meats -- tuna, chicken
- canned vegetables
- fruits (fresh, canned, or snack packages)
- pasta, rice
- breakfast items (cereal, oatmeal, etc)
- cleaning supplies
- kleenex
If you know of a family who needs any help (including child care during the day), let us know. We will see what we can make happen together.
We have such an amazing community and we are truly #BrighterTogether!
