York County Food Bank Food Drive!

[Death Wobble]

As stated in your January newsletter, we've begun collecting food and personal items for the York County Food Bank!  Items collected will be dropped off when we get a full box.  Will we get a full box?  It all depends on YOU!  Please consider donating something from your pantry, or picking up an extra item or two on your next grocery trip.  Items will be collected during our monthly meetings now through April. (Next meeting is Sun. February 12).  The York County Food Bank has provided a "shopping list" of preferred items to make your selections easier for you:

SHOPPING LIST
• Canned vegetables & fruits
• Canned & boxed meals (i.e.,soup, chili, stew, macaroni &
cheese)
• Canned or dried beans & peas (i.e., black, pinto, lentils)
• Pasta, rice, low sugar cereals
• Peanut butter
• Baby formula & baby foods (check expiration dates)
• Holiday foods during the holiday season (cranberry sauce,
dry stuffing mix, cake mixes & frosting, etc.)
• Instant mixes like potatoes, gravies & sauces that add a
little something special to a holiday meal.
• Canned meats (i.e., tuna, chicken, salmon) that do not
require refrigeration before opening.
• 100% fruit juice (canned, plastic or boxed)
Household Items:
Shampoo • Deodorant • Soap • Toilet paper
Toothpaste • Feminine hygiene products • Laundry detergent
Cleaning supplies • Paper towels
Baby Items:
Baby Shampoo • Baby Wipes • Baby diapers • Baby lotion

Let's show them how much we care!  Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated!

We're off to a s-l-o-w start with this collection, so I'm issuing a challenge now:  I've been bringing 5 items to the meetings, and I want to see that matched OR BEATEN by ALL the officers in this club!  (If you're not an officer, please bring something anyway)!  The list is still posted above.  This is very doable, folks--it doesn't have to be name brands, just non-perishables. 

Thanks,

Angie

Today, I took our donated items into the York County Food Bank!  We got a wide variety of items, as shown below:



This is me handing off our goods to a member of the Food Bank.  He was quite happy to have a box heavy enough to require a flatbed cart!



A big THANK YOU once again to all who donated food and personal items for this collection!  --Angie
