CountryWood Apartments ( My current employer :) ) is working with the Alameda county Food Bank this year to help gather food and raise money for the upcoming Holiday Season.

It would mean a lot to me if I could get the Zilvia family to donate money or food. Basically there are two ways to help give back to our community this year, and I have made them very easy!

1. Bring in non-perishable food goods or Checks for any Dollar amount written out to "ACCFB" to my office during office hours.

2. Mail a check to my office for any Dollar amount written out to "ACCFB"

You can also mail them directly, but I am trying to convince my Corporate office to MATCH all of my dollar donations Dollar for Dollar so you can see how me receiving the checks are important!

Here is a list of the most needed items:

PLEASE DONATE NUTRITIOUS, NON-PERISHABLE FOODS, SUCH AS:
.
Canned Vegetables and Fruits
.
Canned Meats and Fish
.
Pasta and Tomato Sauce
.
Dry and Canned Beans
.
Peanut Butter
.
Healthy Snacks (granola bars, raisins, pretzels)
.
Rice and Rice Noodles
.
Breakfast Foods
.
Hot Cereal (creamed wheat, oatmeal)
.
Dry Milk and Fortified Soy Milk
.
Nutritional Drinks
.
Pre-packaged meals

So seriously folks, I dont even celebrate Christmas, but I still take this very seriously. There are a lot of single parents, elderly and homeless folks out there that need our help. Help me this year by donating food or a few bucks. It really does go a long way. Every dollar donated by you, the ACCFB turns into $7 worth of food to give out to those less fortunate.

Help me spread the word if you like,I have also passed out flyers to alll 137 apartments here at Countrywood, and I have over 200 flyers made to hand out at school but I could still use word of mouth.

Updates will follow, as far as money collected and lbs. of food as well. Lets make this a RECORD YEAR!!!

Donation Total: $180.50
LBS. of Food: 62


Pics of Donation spot will be posted tomorrow!
