BAKERSFIELD RESCUE MISSION FOOD DRIVE
Please join us in our attempt to help feed the less fortunate this Thanksgiving. We are holding our 2nd Food Drive for the Bakersfield Rescue Mission. The food drive lasts through Nov. 26.
Last year was our first Food Drive and somone actually stole the donations that we received. Luckily the public came together and donated more food to make up for what was lost. We collected: 64 cans of peas, 28 cans of yams, 48 cans of corn, 48 cans of green beans, 15 boxes of stuffing, 2 bags of long grain rice, boxes of hot chocolate, 17 boxes of Mac and Cheese, 26 cans of cranberries and 39 misc cans of food. We also received 8 turkeys and 2 hams. The food donations that we receive will help ensure that we will be able to help provide dinner to the many needy and homeless that go to the Rescue Mission during Holiday seasons. They serve 3 meals a day and the number seems to increase during the winter months. Food Drive such as ours will help the Bakersield Rescue Mission feed the homeless and needy from Bakersfield and Kern County. For those who donate food you will receive a raffle ticket for a TV that I am giving away as a special incentive.
You can drop off food at: 5430 Olive Drive Ste. C, right off the 99 freeway in the Vons shopping center. Call Lisa for more info @ 387-1177.
We would like to thank those ahead of time for their donations and may your hearts be warmed this holiday season knowing you helped feed someone in need.
