Food Bank Needs!

Good Evening Y'all, 

I have a list from Community Harvest!  It is definitely not a full or final list by any means, but it gives the shoppers something to look at!  Feel free to edit it and add things (non-perishables of course)!  Their website has a lot of information on it as well, we could even get together as a group or part of a group and volunteer "officially" - www.communityharvest.org 

- Boxed Cereal

- Macaroni or Pasta

- Spaghetti Sauce

- Noodles 

- Saltine Crackers 

- Flour 

- Canned Fruits of Veggies 

- Hamburger/Tuna Helper

- Instant Mashed Potatoes 

- Sugar 

- Boxed Meals 

- Hearty Soups 

- Canned Meats 

- Toilet Paper 

- Disposable Diapers (all and any sizes)

- Soap

- Deodorant 

- Shampoo/Conditioner 

- Laundry Detergent 

I would recommend bringing a few different boxes (high hopes are always nice!!) and maybe add a the top of your list what it is we're doing.  Project 2Day is helping raise donations for CHFB and this is a list of items that are definitely needed!  Happy Collecting!

Making Progress!

Hi guys!  I'm still figuring this out, so it might be posted somewhere and I just don't know how to find it!  I tried to write earlier that I finally have made some progress with a few companies!

While people haven't been as eager to work this us as I had hoped, I did find out that Meijer on Lima Road, and Scotts on N. Clinton are currently working with the Community Harvest food bank and I want to give them credit for their works.  So I have been calling their corporate offices and finally I heard back from Frank, the corporate rep from Meijer.  We will be interviewing someone at the Lima Rd location on December 1st at 10:00am.  Anyone who can make it is more than welcome! I figured we could just ask what it is they are doing, why they feel it is important, and maybe some other questions.  

Unfortunately, I haven't heard back from Target.  They did not seem too interested in what we proposed (a possible donation, or maybe even matching contributions), but they have my e-mail address, and if I don't hear from them soon... I'm calling back! :) 

I am also in the process of writing a letter to Wal-Mart.  The woman I spoke with, Wendy, said that they usually make donations around the first of the month.  So if I get that letter in soon, they might just be able to help us out! 

I hope you're having a great week and an awesome Thanksgiving!  Just remember our cause when you're pigging out... Keep it in perspective!!!  :) See you all soon!

Smiles,
