On Wednesday, November 19th from 5pm to 9pm bring THIS FLYER to The Old Spaghetti Factory with you and 15% of the proceeds will benefit the Monument Crisis Center.
I was just on the Crisis Center website to find this flyer to share with you. On the press page there was a statement saying they've been very low on food the last two months and even had to close for a couple of days due to lack of food.
The Crisis Center provides food, education, assistance, referrals to families and individuals in crisis situations, and promotes community awareness of needs and available resources to at-risk and low income people in Contra Costa County. I'm not a fan of the Crisis Center running out of food.
In addition to these urgently needed food items:
- Breakfast cereal (low sugar)
- Instant oatmeal
- Peanut butter
- Canned soup and broth
- Canned meals
- Dry soup (cup of noodles/Top Ramen)
- Pasta, rice, pinto beans
- Macaroni & cheese, pasta-roni
- Baking items: cake/cookie mix
- Snacks, granola bars, crackers
The Crisis Center is also asking for donations of diapers (especially sizes 4, 5 and 6), sleeping bags, shopping carts, bicycles, winter coats, toiletries, back to school supplies.
You can donate via paypal here. You can find donation bins at local Safeway and Lucky stores.
Remember, your local food banks need your help throughout the year, not just during the holidays. We can't do everything for everyone, but we can do one little thing that will help someone. Please take some time and do what you can to help a low income family.
