Mana - this is such a worthy cause - there is so much need this year I hope people will pitch in and do what they can.
Cyndee, People really, Really do. It is so nice to see the bins in a super markets so as you are shopping for your own food you can load up on can goods for the Drive and drop them off on your way out.
Mana,
I deal with this down here, at our local Food Bank.. Good Info, and great Timing.

This sounds like a great cause Mana. I know they are glad to have trusted professionals in the area supporting and spreading the word about what they are trying to do.
Tom, For some reason I knew you would be involved in a worthy cause such as this.
Kimberly, It is a wonderful cause. I even have my little ones help. Thank you for your constant support and kind words.
A great cause Mana, kudos to you my friend for putting this information out!
Hey Mana,
Thanks for sharing. Our board (AOR) is still involved with Christmas Cantree, feeding the hungry. It was a statewide REALTOR project at one time, not sure now if it's in other areas or not.
Leah, My friend it is so nice to see you again and thank you.
Lynda, Our association helps the drive as well, however I had no idea NAR helped as well.
Mana - this is TERRIFIC!! The foodbanks always need help at this time of the year. I was THRILLED to help By Referral Only donate over 2500lbs to the foodbank in Tampa Bay for The Main Event!!
Susie, I had no idea BRO was doing any kind of food drive, that is fantastic, and good for you.
