Emergency Food Bank Drive

Hi Everyone,

Just an email to share with all. The Costume Pics we did on 10/31/09 at Vine & Branches for the food drive, brought in canned foods and cash. We wanted to let everyone know how everyone who contributed to our cause made a difference. A big thank you to Vine & Branches and to our fellow members of the community who participated.

Your food donations came to 340 lbs, which loosely equates to 272 meals. That is a great fact to give in your press release.


Money donated, for $205 can help us purchase 20 much needed 10 lb turkeys, at 98c/lb. as they are serving to be very highly priced this year! If you want to add that in your article, it will help the community to know what we are facing this year. We need people to know we cannot afford that, but we are trying to get most turkey’s donated for this reason! We will be serving 1400 family holiday food boxes this November 23rd, so, thank you again.


Thanks so much again for all you and Vine’s and Branches did to help us this holiday season!
