Last Week to Bring in Food or $$
This is the last week to bring in food or money for the Helping Hands Food Bank Stuff the bus challenge.
Remember, in order to be crowned
Community Stuff a Bus Champions, we need you to bring canned food, non-perishables or $$$ to our Club meeting this Friday, Feb. 24.
The organization that brings in the most pounds in donations wins the crown. Every $1 = 25 pounds of food so either bring in really heavy food (think canned beans, vegetables, laundry soap, shampoo, etc.) or cash. The Community Champion receives lunch for 10 at Pacioni's in Mount Vernon. When we win all club members who donate food or money will be entered into a drawing for the lunch. Most importantly, the need for foodbank donations is especially important right now. Please consider donating. The food bank can also REALLY USE egg cartons and grocery bags of any type. Just bring them to any Friday meeting.
