Food For Cause

Every Thursday, I attend a Weight Watchers meeting. The past few weeks we have be doing a food drive for the "Lose for Good Campaign." Tonight we were talking about a food bank here in Hagerstown. Someone from Food Resources came into the office and talked to our Thursday night leader, Lori. Whomever came in, asked where all the food we had gathered so far was going to, she told them, to Food Resources . The person from Food Resources was telling Lori, for the first time in awhile, they have bare shelves! It really hit home hard for me. The people from Food Resources are coming early to pick up the food we have now so they can stock some of their shelves.

I have a favor to ask of you. To send me non-perishable foods. Cans, boxes, pasta, whatever you have in your pantry you don't mind getting rid of. There are only a few rules: 1) Nothing glass, 2) Nothing expired, & 3) Nothing dented. Food banks in MD cannot take this food due to regulations.

I will be taking the food with me to Weight Watchers while the campaign is still going on.Once it ends,I will personally take any food items sent to Food Resources.I do not remember the exact date this all will end,but will be posting more info soon.

If you would rather donate money instead of food for me to go out and buy food that is okay as well.

EDIT: 10/08/10 I forgot to mention, the food banks can also take diapers and baby food, please remember the families with young children. Thank you again for taking the time to read this.

Please Email me at Lauren83706@yahoo.com with the subject "Food Bank" if you can help. Thank you.
Please Pass this on to your friends, family and coworkers.
