The Food Bank Needs Your Help!
In the first six months of 2010, the
Douglas/Elbert Food Bank has distributed
$250,045 in food and hygiene items — that’s 100% more than the same period
last year. We need food of any type, and can
accept fresh and frozen food as well as
non-perishables. PLEASE help us help
those with the greatest need in our
communities. |
