With Your Help We Can Meet the Goal!
Posted on: Wednesday, December 21 2011
Each year we make a call out to local businesses to collect food & cash in support of families in need during the holiday season via the London Food Bank. The generosity by our city has been outstanding and again this year we've asked for your help and we're hoping our community's support come through.
More than 300 London businesses and organizations are currently collecting donations for the 12th Annual Business Cares food Drive, in hopes of breaking last year’s collection of 228,000 pounds.
Today we sit at 182,400 lbs of food collected, a ways back of our goal, and even though we do have scheduled pickups happening at many businesses, we may fall short in helping the nearly 3,200 families a month that receive assistance from the London Food Bank.
So that bring us to..."We need your help!". We're turning to you, the individual(s) to help us reach our goal:
1) Donate a bag of groceries - at County Heritage at 1275 Hubrey Rd. (just south of the 401) or Aboutown Airbus Express at 17 York Street
3) Arrange to make a donation by phone - County Heritage at 519-686-7573 and ask for Peggy or Alyssa.
deadline is tomorrow morning - December 22nd
