The Thurmont Food Bank needs your help!
July 12, 2010
| Dear Members of our Community,The Thurmont Food Bank needs your help! Lately, donations have decreased and we need lots of donations to provide enough food for over 200 families each month. We can accept fresh produce from your garden and food left over from church and community fundraisers as long as the food is made in a licensed kitchen. This might be a good time to go through your cupboards and clean out food you do not need and donate it to the Food Bank. We can always use canned and boxed goods that have not expired. We especially need: canned meats and tuna, canned ravioli, canned fruit, cereal, rice or pasta, Hamburger Helper, snacks for kids, baby food and peanut butter & jelly. We also need perishable foods like milk, bread, eggs and meats. Non-perishable donations can be dropped off at the Town Hall Monday-Friday during business hours or at various churches. Perishable items can be dropped off at The Food Bank at St. John’s Lutheran Church on Tuesdays from 5:30- 7:30 p.m. and Fridays from 3:00- 5:00 p.m. Perishable and non-perishable foods can be dropped off at Harriet Chapel, near the Catoctin Furnace on Rte 806, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. Please help your neighbors by donating food or making a contribution so we can purchase food. Donations can be mailed to The Thurmont Food Bank P.O. Box 74, Thurmont, MD 21788. All donations are tax deductible. For tax purposes you will receive confirmation of any monetary donations and we will be happy to give you a receipt for food delivered to the Food Bank. You can also put money in the change collection containers found in local businesses. Please tell the businesses thank you for allowing us to place the containers near their cash registers. Every donation helps!
Thank you ! |
