Each month we partner with a local non-profit to collect items that help them serve our community.
The Featured Community Partner for the month of November is Lulu’s on N. We are collecting groceries for families that will be attending their free community Thanksgiving dinner. They are expecting to serve 75 families this Thanksgiving.
They are in need of:
Peanut Butter
Tuna
Canned Fruit
Cereal
Deodorant
- We ask that all donations be new/unopened and from the provided list.
You can drop off your donations in the bin outside of the office. If you prefer that we do the shopping for you, can give financially HERE.
Please mark your donation Featured Community Partner.
Thank you for your generosity!
