Food Bank Blitz - Fall 2011

Our Fall Food Bank Blitz 2011 was extremely successful!

Thank you to all of our fabulous volunteers (almost 200 of them!) who came out and spent 2 hours of their weekend collecting food, gift cards, and cash to help feed the hungry in our community!  The generous people in our area helped us raise...
$8,480 in cash in gift cards
and
3,861 pounds of food
Volunteers,
Twin Lakes Food Bank would like to say an Extra Special "THANK YOU" to the HandsHope Youth.  This Food drive ROCKED!  We weighed in 2,661 pounds of awesome food.  As you can see in this picture (below), the actual "shelves" were getting bare and these baskets of food poured in with perfect timing!

This was another grateful week at the food bank with lots of smiles on the parent's faces and even some giggles were heard from the kids when they saw the extra special goodies and juices!!!

Hands4Hope made a difference in the lives of over 132 families this week and the weeks ahead.  Way to go! :)
In Joy,
Tammy
Director at Twin Lakes Food Bank

Thank you!!!
