For over 15 years Mary Kay has held an open house to generate food donations to The Food Pantry, Inc. Thank you!
Michelle, a local realtor and neighbor, has reached out to local neighborhoods with a flyer indicating the non-perishable items needed by the food pantry. She then picks up the items from their front porch and delivers the food items to our building. Thank you so much Michelle!
LFG has come up with a different food drive spanning several weeks.
The first week:
Coworkers had to bring items that started with the letters L, F or G (for Lake Financial Group)
The second week:
Coworkers had to bring items that started with the first letter of the month they were born (ie: A=April or August).
The third week:
Coworkers are to bring foods that are their favorite color.
The fourth and final week:
Coworkers are asked to bring their favorite foods.
Great team effort! Thank you!
The whole reason we started collecting food was because when the government shutdown happened, we knew there were people out there who abused the system and took food benefits they didn’t really need — but at the same time, there were a lot of families who truly did need help. So we figured if we could step up in any way, why not? We had a nice Ford Escape that we were planning on selling, and instead of selling it, we decided to give it away. We told everyone that if they wanted to enter to win it on Christmas Eve, all they had to do was bring non-perishable food items or household supplies.
1–5 items earned 1 entry,
6–10 items earned 2 entries,
and 11 or more items earned 3 entries.
Even if someone brought 30 items, it was still capped at 3 entries to keep it fair for everyone.
The response was way bigger than we expected. We were originally only going to run it during the shutdown, but once the shutdown ended, we decided to keep it going all the way until Christmas Eve because of how many donations came in. We don’t want to see anyone struggle, especially during the holidays. Me and my wife both came from families without a lot of money, so we understand what it feels like when times are tough. If we’re able to help prevent that for someone else, then that’s exactly what we want to do. That’s the story of why we started collecting the food.
Cub Scout Pack 3837 of Port Washington and Saukville set up a table at Christmas on the Corner in front of Bernie's. The scouts handed out free hot chocolate and baked goods made by their parents and collected money for the Food Pantry. We handed out over 20 gallons of hot chocolate and coffee and countless cookies and other baked goods. The scouts had a great time and completed some community service time
