Thank you to everyone who helped make our 2009 Holiday Food Drive a success. Due to your genorisity, Southern Pine was able to donate non-perishable food items to four area food banks, one in each service area. The food banks who received the donations this year were: Atmore Christian Mission, First United Methodist Church of Brewton, New Haven Church of Christ in Lyeffion, and Excel Assembly of God. Thank you again, for helping those less fortunate.
Not everyone who is hungry tonight lives in a third-world country. Many of your neighbors down the street or just across town may go to bed hungry tonight, wondering where they will get their next meal.
To help our neighbors in need, Southern Pine sponsors a nonperishable and canned food drive each holiday season. Each of its four offices set up donation centers where they receive donated items from members. Each time a member donates three qualifying items, the member may enter his or her name for a cash prize drawing. One $50 winner is drawn from each of the four office locations and receives their $50 cash prize prior to Christmas Day. Donated foods are distributed to area food banks through the co-op's general service area during the week before Christmas.
Southern Pine appreciates its many members who have supported this worthy program for the past years and hopes you will continue to help our neighbors in need.
