Director of Operations’ Corner
A recent Top Foods food drive brought in over 3,000 lbs. of food as well as gift cards. We helped Apple Physical Therapy gain 138 Facebook “likes” in a very short period of time and they made a much appreciated donation. The entire Puyallup Valley Dental Care staff recently toured the Food Bank and made a very generous donation with the proceeds from recycled crowns. Top Foods will donate $50 gift cards to the Food Bank for every hour worth of volunteer Christmas caroling at their store so let the singing begin! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Thank You ~ Shanna Peterson
Executive Director’s Corner
During the month of November, we provided food for 920 families (231 new families!) totaling more than 32,424 meals. We also brought in 121,386 lbs. of food. Please continue to schedule tours of the Food Bank so we can continue to spread the word about the good work we do for those in need in our community.
The Food Bank will be closed the day after Christmas (12/26). Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Thank You ~ Bill Franklin
President’s Corner
In 2010, we provided food for 6,969 households and during 2011, we are on pace to feed 8,100 households which is greater than a 16% increase. As the need continues to grow and we head into the holiday season, our resources are definitely being stretched. Now more than ever we truly need your financial support to help feed our Neighbors in Need.
This is an important and trying time of year for many people in our community. We are asking you to please consider making a contribution to help out during this holiday season. On behalf of the thousands of families we serve, we “Thank You” for your consideration.
Your support and prayers are greatly appreciated.
Thank You ~ Daniel P. Hoffman
