OLMSTED DFL to lead March food drive

02/28/2005

Hello Olmsted County DFL-ers!

We are going to participate in the Food Collection for Channel One
and your help is needed!

The Channel One Food Bank acts as a clearing-house of donated
food by gathering, warehousing, and sometimes repackaging donated
food from donors. Food is then distributed to food shelves and other
charitable agencies with food assistance programs in Southeast
Minnesota and La Crosse County in Wisconsin.

Stocks are always low and we would like to invite all of you to
help replenish their shelves! So please bring your non-perishable
items to one of three locations/times:

-We will be collecting donations at our March 15 meeting (7pm) at the
Government Center.

-Also, the office will be open for food donations on Saturday March 5
and Saturday March 12 from 1:30 - 3:30. Folks will be in the office
to gather your donations.

-Finally, people can drop off food during the normal office hours of
4PM-6PM Tuesdays and Thursdays (March 1,3, 8, 10, 15, 17, 22, 24, 29,
31).

Please e-mail me at if you have any questions
and thanks for your support of this program!

-Cortney Everts, Director
