Just a reminder - Page 3

Please make sure you check with your local food bank or other organization to find out exactly what they need.

Most will have a list of most wanted items and some also prefer cash depending upon their set up to purchase food.

Our food bank also asks for diapers, baby food, and pet food

And please, never donate what you cleaned out of a food closet because the item expired.

Don't donate what you will not eat because it is old. (Same with clothing-do not donate what you would not wear because of stains, etc.)

Most will also really appreciate volunteers to hand out boxes/bags of food during food drives, too.

Our food bank is feeding 58,000 people/families PER WEEK.

Donate responsibly, being mindful of what is really requested and donate accordingly.

I had anticipated Boy Scout Food drive but they are doing differently. Doing money contributions and setting up some drop off points. Sad for scouts as its a beautiful experience.

@cowboy sam

look at how poorly the postal service has done their work this past year. adding something like that on top of what they are supposed to be doing would have put them further behind. covid has not helped either.

SuzyQ3!

Your kind thoughts are welcome and I do hope people think of the many in need as the holiday season arrives. I always send money to a local food bank and have been for awhile. I care about families who are struggling, animals who need care and everyone staying as safe as possible.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and continue to have that compassion for others.

Happy Holidays to you, too, @spiderw
