Gleaner's Food Bank - Fill The Gazebo, May 3, 2008

The Livingston County Association of Realtors has been supporting Gleaner's Food Bank for a number of years by way of its 'Fill The Gazebo' Food Drive. As the name implies, we want to fill the Brighton Millpond gazebo with food donations.

On May 3, 2008, you can drop off items on Main Street in Downtown Brighton. Realtor volunteers will be standing in the center lane to accept your food and monetary donations. We'll also be stationed aroudn the County at various grocery stores to accept donations.

In addition to food, the Gleaner's Food Pantry needs household items like laundry detergent, toothpaste and the like. All food collected stays within Livingston County for families in need. In fact, we can't support our own County's needs and Gleaner's has to bring additional food into Livingston to help support the demand for its services.

If you see a great sale at your local grocery store, consider buying extra to donate on May 3rd. If you have trouble making it into town that day, most Realtor offices will have drop offs available. Or feel free to call me at 810-220-1478 and I'll be happy to get your food or monetary donation collected.
