Holiday Register Donations for Local Food Bank

From November 14 through December 15, we are taking register donations for one of our local food banks.  The Blessings Pantry, located in Pompano Beach, provides food to families in need 5 days a week.  The Blessings Pantry has seen the need for food increase over the past few years.  2 years ago they assisted about 40 people a week.  Currently they are assisting at least 250 people per week. 

According to the New York Times, the number of Americans who are not consistently receiving access to adequate food has risen by 13 million people from last year.   Although we are all hearing reports that the economy is improving, there are still plenty of our neighbors who don’t get enough to eat every day. 

Why not help if you can?  100% of your donation will go to purchase food for the pantry.  You can donate $1, $2, or $5 as you check out.  It’s a great way to help local people in need while you’re doing your shopping.
