All four Southern Pine offices will collect non-perishable food items from Monday, Nov. 28 - Wednesday, Dec. 14. Register your name to win $50 each time you donate three of more items. One winner will be selected from each of the four offices on Thursday, Dec. 15. Food will be distributed to local food pantries before Christmas to help put food on the table for many of our needy neighbors. Please help us help those in need!
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 local 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. Thank you, also, to Alabama Southern Community College's Students in Financial Enterprise (SIFE) club that helped to weigh, collect, transport and deliver food items to area pantries. Your help was greatly appreciated.
Thank you to everyone who helped make our 2010 Holiday Food Drive such a success. We gathered over 2,400 lbs. of nonperishable food items that were donated to four food pantries across our service area. These donations were direly needed. The contributions you made helped many families in need this past holiday season.
