What we are asking for is for you to set aside 1 can a month from now till November 2012.
We will start collecting the cans the second week of November, but no later than November 19.
We have run other drives here on LI donating food to the needy and sending care packages to the military.
This is the perfect time -- right before the holidays -- and this drive will help out the food banks tremendously.
For our community, this is a great cause that will help so many!
Anyone who can help me with organization and distribution of this wonderful gift to the community feel free to PM me.
If you know of someone in need of food, just send me and email and we can make it happen! (Quietly).
Food will be separated and dropped off at local shelters and food banks on Long Island that suppy food to the needy of LI.
Some examples of things that are always useful: Cans with pop tops, Non perishables, canned goods, peanut butter, etc.
If you wish to donate other stuff with your 11 cans please feel free to consider: toiletries, toothpaste, soap, rice, pasta, boxed milk, baby items are great too! even gloves, knit hats and scarves!!
The original organizer,_Omerta_ said it best:
"Your little can donation will make a huge difference to those that need it.
I want to show all how mighty our kind can be when driven for a good cause.
Like the six degrees of separation, please spread the word.
We all have different friends; make them aware that we all care.
Together Long Island We CAN do great things!!
Enjoy the music:
