Come Join Us. This is our 3rd Year!
Invite your family and friends to join you on a crisp December day
of giving back to your community. In its first year, 2010, the event
raised 14,000 pounds of food and $2,000 for the Gallatin Valley Food
Bank. In our efforts to support the Food Bank’s need to support a
growing number of families in the Gallatin County, we have set our
sights on becoming the Valley's biggest food drive by increasing our
impact and raising 25,000 pounds of food this year. A contribution of
this size will go far to support the over 1,200 local families that
receive emergency food boxes each month. Our efforts are timed to help
stock the shelves through the winter and to compliment the US Postal
Service food drive that occurs in April and the "Can the Griz" and
"Huffing for Stuffing" events that occur in the Fall each year.
Please help us spread the word about this event! Post it on your
Facebook, friend the event, tweet it, yell it, whisper it, do whatever
you can to help us reach our audacious goals to help the Food Bank this
winter!
Please support the Gift of Food this year by visiting the website and signing up for your neighborhood. Team up with family and friends, pick a couple neighborhoods in Bozeman to collect food on December 8th: http://thegiftoffood.org/
This is the 3rd year of the event and we have continually increased the amount of food raised for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank.
Come join us on December 8th for a rewarding event in the Bozeman and Belgrade communities.
Thanks,
Jim
