Livingston Realtors Food Drive – May 4th

Every year the Livingston County Association of Realtors conducts their ‘Fill The Gazebos’ food drive in downtown Brighton and Howell .  May 4^th is the day for 2013. Cars can drive up and have volunteers take food donations, which are piled under the gazebos.

Collectors can also be found at some of the larger grocery stores, piling extra food into pickup trucks for the food drive.  Many local real estate brokerages are collection sites in the weeks leading up to May 4^th, also.  We load the food into trucks and it gets taken to the food pantry in Genoa Township, to serve our area’s hungriest families.

Please consider participating this year.  You can drop off food at Preview Properties real estate office (130 W. Grand River, Brighton 48116) before the event, or drive down Main Street in Brighton on May 4^th and have volunteers take it – you won’t even have to park (but you will have to stop!). The gazebo at the historic Howell Court House is another collection site.

I regret that I’ll be at a conference that day so I can’t volunteer, but I will be making my own food donation before that date.  Keep an eye out for sales and think about buying a few extra cans or boxes of food for the drive.  Some items that are wanted are meat sauce, macaroni and cheese, canned meat, peanut butter & jelly and cereal.  See the flyer here.
