Bring your “coupon” and get $1 OFF!
November 16, 2007 — Food For Families UPDATE!
Well, thanks to all of your generous food donation "coupons" — we were able to deliver 421 pounds of food to the KWTX studio in Waco for distribution to Central Texas food pantries!! Thank you everyone — lets see if we can grow this each year, okay? It was kind of funny when I pulled up — I had rolled down my window to ask where to park so we could unload, and this group of Boy Scouts eagerly held out their hands and one boy quipped, "Thanks, ma’am! We can take it from here, if you’ll pass it through the window!" — I told them I thought that might take awhile…..I pulled up and opened the cargo top to my little Sportrac; they saw that it was packed tightly with boxes and boxes of food! It didn’t take them long to run after a few carts to help us unload! It was so much fun and we really enjoyed telling everyone where the food had come from — YOU!
We’ve decide to change it up a bit! We won’t have you waste any more trees by printing out a little coupon to visit the farm — we’ve come up with another idea that speaks from our hearts and hopefully, yours too!
Food for Families is a loose-knit coalition of food pantries working together to feed the hungry people of Central Texas; and is an annual event for the Boy Scouts of America, H.E.B. Grocery Company , Texas Army National Guard and KWTX -TV. The food drive takes place each year the Friday before Thanksgiving, with collection sites throughout Central Texas.
Last year, Central Texans donated more than a million pounds of food, and organizers are hoping to top the total this year.
So, with that in mind; on behalf of our family and staff at Kaska Family Farm, we’d like to request that you bring a new, unopened, non-perishable food item as your "coupon" for the maze this year!
Items to consider include canned meat, tuna, vegetables, macaroni, spaghetti, pinto beans, corn, green beans, applesauce, tomato sauce, peanut butter, vegetable soup, chicken soup, cereal and Jello.
