Neighborhood Food Drive in lieu of Neighbor Gifts

So cute Shellee Livingston and Stephanie Bagley have put flyers on everyone's door regarding neighbor gifts and a food drive. i love this idea. Others in the neighborhood have done this in the past with success.

here is the content of the flyer:

"Many people in Utah don't realize how many of their neighbors are struggling to feed themselves and their families, especially with the increased cost of food and fuel today. Unfortunately, too many who struggle to afford life's basic necessities won't celebrate Christmas or the holidays this year.

As you may have heard, due to troubled times the Food Bank is extremely short this year. it has become a yearly tradition within our neighborhood to give neighbor gifts during the Christmas season. We all know how much we love and care about each other. This year in lieu of neighbor gifts we thought we could spready that love amongst those who are struggling and in need.
So instead of of giving neighbor gifts please consider dropping off your canned food items to either Shellee Livingston or Stephanie Bagley's front porch.

We will be delivering these supplies to the Utah Food Bank on Saturday December 13th. Please have your items to us no later than FRIDAY DECEMBER 12th.

Hopefully this not only brings the spirit of giving into your home, but you can also check neighborhor gifts off your already long Christmas to-do list. Thank you for your generosity. Merry Christmas!"
