Spring Food Drive - Giving Back

Event: March 1-28, 2012

Bring sunshine into a family's life! - Here at showcraft we are participating in a food drive initiated by one of our customers, MGS Machine (www.fooddrivechallenge.org). We're giving back to the community to "feed a local family and do a world of good!" The collected items will be donated to 360 Communities which helps struggling families.

Feed a Local Family. Do a World of GOOD! - 360 Communities is a Minnesota based organization that goes the distance with educational programs, creating peaceful and safe environments, providing new beginnings and connecting with the community. They offer great programs such as violence prevention education, the Lewis House, outreach services and food shelves. If you're interested in getting more involved as a volunteer, please visit their website at www.360communities.org.

A new recipe for giving - Did you know that food shelves are looking for more than just canned foods? Perishable foods are the first thing on the list but there is more you can give to help out: hygiene items like toothpaste, deodorant and shaving products; infant products and paper products such as diapers, wipes, tissues and toilet paper.

Good deeds don't go unnoticed - showcraft has further challenged employees! We're getting out the scale...the person who donates the most pounds of food will be rewarded with a gift card. The race is on and the bags are filling up fast.
