Our shop alone collected several hundred pounds of food. The grand total of food donated was 52,000 pounds. Due to the additional cash donations collected at the drop-off points, we were also able to present Helping Hands (a local benevolence agency) with a check for $30,000!
Next weekend, June 13th & 14th, 2009 my church, Lake Pointe Church, will celebrate our 30th anniversary. In observation of our anniversary we are having a Food Drive. Our goal is to gather 30,000 pounds of food for people in need, in our community.
Candlelight & Lamposts is a collection center for this Food Drive. I’m asking everyone to stop by the shop with a food donation. In addition to the usual canned foods we can also use flour, sugar, corn meal, cooking oil, dried beans, dry pasta, etc…
We will be accepting contributions at the shop from now through Saturday evening. We won’t be trying to sell you anything. All we ask is to help us get food to people in need, in our community.
