Food Drive/Drummond Dollars extended

Filed under: General and Misc — mzerkel at 9:48 pm on Monday, November 16, 2009

Many thanks to the generous folks who have donated to the Drummond Food Drive this year.  So far we have raised $325 dollars!  But we still have a long way to go.  Last year we raised around $1000 to feed 10 families, wouldn’t it be great if we could do that this year as well?

We have extended the Drummond Dollars orders for grocery cards to donate to the food drive through November 18th.  You can fill out the form that was sent out in the backpacks or email to be sent a new one.

Cash donations or donations of grocery cards not purchased through Drummond Dollars will also be accepted until Nov. 20th.

Drop off your orders or donations at Kiss n Go, in the office or with Cindy Nicita, Lisa Wright or Mary Zerkel.
Let’s help our Drummond community have a happy Thanksgiving, and many thanks in advance for your generosity.
