At the Food Bank... 143 Pounds!!!!

When we arrived, there was a long process of gathering, weighing, and sorting the food before the food could be packaged for those who need it. It was 143 pounds in total, a lot more than I was expecting.

....AND MORE!!!!!

  By the time we were ready to go in the morning... there was more!

.... And Keeps Coming In!!!!!!

These are photos of me putting the last few things into the truck for the food bank.

The Food Comes In!

This is the food when we were taking it to the food bank, but there was still more to come.

This is the box where the food was collected, before any food was collected.

The Note

Hello Neighbors!

My name is Benjamin  *******. I live here in ****** and am in *** grade at ******  School. I am doing a service project for my Civics class and I decided to do a food drive benefiting the Manatee County Food Bank. I will be collecting non-perishable, unopened cans and boxed food from today, Sunday April 13^th through Thursday, April 18^th. We will deliver the food the next day in hopes of helping a few more families enjoy a Easter dinner.

If you would like to donate, you can drop off items in the box on the front porch of our house at:
