friends!
we all need to eat!
i don't know about you, but i am not the most favorite person to be around when i am hungry...
the month of march offers us all a chance to make a difference in the lives of many in our community who are suffering in the most unfortunate way...in burnsville, mn, alone there has been a 28% increase in families requesting emergency food from local food shelves.
minnesota foodshare works hard to promote hunger awareness and engage communities in the fight against hunger and poverty, especially in the month of march.
remarkably, a number of generous companies will donate dollars proportionally to the poundage of food donated...!!!!!
here is a list of suggested items one could possibly donate to a local food shelf:
Cereal (hot and cold)
Powdered milk
Pancake mix and syrup
Peanut butter and jelly
Tuna and Tuna Helper
Canned meat
Pasta and sauce
Rice and beans
Whole grain snack crackers
Granola/cereal bars
*Canned fruit
Coffee/Tea
Dried rice (16 oz packages)
Dried beans (16 oz packages)
Cooking oil
Laundry detergent
Dish soap
*Paper products (toilet paper, paper towels)
*Personal care products (tooth paste, bar soap, shampoo)
*Disposable diapers (all sizes)
*Cash donations are needed to purchase bulk items
*Gift cards to purchase fresh nutritious food
School supplies (notebooks, folders, pens and pencils)
Warm clothing (hats, mittens, blankets)
*These items are often requested and/or needed.

i'm asking everyone i know to please fill up their grocery cart with some extra goodies and help to restock the food shelves today!
please, honor the efforts of the foodshare program and help to make the difference in the life of another....a family...possibly your neighbor or co-worker.
thanks! and blessings.

That is so true, there is hunger everywhere around the world. I wish more people, who can, would dontate. I know if I had alot of money, I would help as much as I could.
