This week (August 20, 2009) we donated another 136.6 pounds of food. This is approximately $219.93 in food donations. Keep up the great work!
In our efforts to continue the food drive to help the needy families in our area, you, the members, recently provided canned goods to the Our Daily Bread Center on Main Street in Fairfax City. Thanks to your donations of canned goods and dry goods, we were able to donate 146.16 pounds of canned/dry goods which equates to approximately $235.31 value of food to this worthy cause.
If you want to visit their site – go to www.our-daily-bread.org and check out the various places they supply items to as well as other items that they are looking for. They are also looking for people to volunteer their time to help out in the kitchen, deliver food, or help with emergency items just to name a few things. If you have some free time, this would be a worthy cause and would go toward the Moose Lodge and Women of the Moose Community Service. But now is not the time to stop, many families continue to need your support. We ask that you continue to bring in your food items to the lodge. We will continue to collect items and donate them to local charities.
As an incentive for you to continue bringing needed food items, you will receive a Texas Hold’em chip card for each item brought in. The Texas Hold’em chip cards are redeemable during regular tournament play. The cards are not redeemable during the final tournament.
Below is a suggest list of items that they accept for donations.
