Food Drive Update (April 1, 2009)

Food drives and food donations are key ways that the shelves of the cupboard are filled.  Last month we had a virtual food drive that produced a great response. At a time when we did not know how we were going to meet the need of 45 families many of you responded by buying nearly $1000 worth of food through our virtual food drive. 

 

A week later a local church, Threshold in Matthews, ran a food drive that produced 1603 pounds of groceries.  Then the next week, one of our community partners, Bi-Lo at Siskey Parkway & Weddington Road, donated 1500 pounds of grocery items. What a blessing! Then the next week we received two pallets of chicken strips and sliced ham from Second Harvest, followed by a pallet of pasta!!!  For months we have been very short on meat & pasta. And then just the other day we received a donation of Tasty cakes from a local vendor!  We are in a different place than we were at the first of this month!     

 

Although as we start April we are in good shape, we can not rest there.  The need does not stop.  Our opportunity to demonstrate God's love in this most basic and practical way continues on. So, as we go into April, can you help out by planning a food drive, or donating through our virtual food drive.  Another way to help is to get involved with "Food for Your Neighbor".

Virtual Food Drive

We want to bring to you a very urgent need. We are heading into our biggest weekend of deliveries of the month and the shelves are pretty bare!  Would you help us put some non-perishable foods on our shelves?  Since the need is urgent we have put together a shopping list below, so you can participate in this food drive via your computer.   

 

The money raised will go directly to buying food to stock the cupboard for this weekend. To donate your "virtual food" through PayPal please click the donate button next to the desired "bag", "case" or "shopping cart" of groceries.

 

If you prefer to send a check please make it payable to Common Heart and send it to the address on the side bar. Thank you so much. Your participation will help those in need in our community this weekend.

 

Thank you very much for you help,     

The Common Cupboard Crew
