Summit-U Food Drive
admin | Uncategorized | Friday July 9 2010The theme of this year’s Rondo Days festivities is Healthy Lifestyle 365. One of the barriers many Summit-U families face in achieving this goal is access to enough food for their families. But you can help!Summit-University Planning Council is partnering with the Hallie Q. Brown Food Shelf to host a Summer Food Drive. This local food shelf serves over 600 families in need, and now they need help.
When we partnered with the food shelf last November during the Thanksgiving holiday, staff members informed us that food shelves often experience great need during the summer months. Don’t wait for the holiday season to make your donation. Just stop by the Hallie Q. Brown Food Shelf, located at 100 N. Oxford Street, between now and August 6th and mention the Summit-U drive.
We learned about a fun way to get the neighborhood involved from the Marshall Milton Block Club. At your next community event, whether it’s a neighborhood watch meeting or your National Night Out party, you can “charge” at least one food item for admission. All the collected items will make a great donation from your block club!
The link below has information about what kind of items can be collected and which items are most needed. For any other questions, please feel free to contact Lisa at our office.
