Tonight was the big Food For Families Food Drive that the Junior Leagues helped provide food for. I went up to the drop off site this evening and was blown by the number of people that were there in the pouring rain and donations that were received. This project has been around for a while, but this was the fist time the JL took part in it and I have a feeling we will be doing it again.
However, we did not make it on TV due to a scheduling conflict but it was still great to pull up with 2 cars full of food. When I left the food donated by the league was close to the 500 pound mark!!!! This truly was a wonderful experience and from what I have heard from the local food pantries is they are in need of food. There is a shortage this year due to the economy. I have a feeling that will all change after tonight. It is wonderful to know that a family will be able to have a nice Thanksgiving meal this year. Thanks Sally and Jen for all your hard work this year!!
