Community Food Share Annual Drive – November 2010
We will be handing out brown grocery bags at the entrance to Gunbarrels’ King Soopers again as part of Community Food Share’s Annual Food Drive. Scouts should be in uniform and accompanied by an adult.
Patrons can fill the bags as they shop, or take them home to fill later. The bags are to be deposited in the barrel or box designated for Community Food Share. The scouts just need to show up dressed in their uniforms and hand out bags; Community Food Share takes care of picking up food donated.
The participation of our kids helps Community Food Share advertise and greatly improves their visibility and donations (Three times more food is collected when a greeter is present). Please help us out by signing up for an hour.
