Help area food banks?!?

God luv ya, aleo.

I know that the South Walton Ministerial Association, the group of the south Walton churches, are conducting a food drive to restock Caring and Sharing's shelves. They are all collecting food and will take it to Good News UMC on Tuesday for a community-wide Thanksgiving service. I'm sure any church can accept the gifts, but I know St. Rita's and Good News are for sure.

All area Publix' are also doing a food drive, they have pre-pulled bags of food that you can buy and they will match the gift and donate it for you.

Thanks, Chris. This is exactly the type of info I was hoping this thread would bring out. Anyone who knows of any organization collecting food, please post it here.

More help in SoWal for needy families

In a few days, I will have some info on a Holiday Dinner for families in need this season that Heartworks is hosting with Barlovento, LLC & Great Southern Cafe. We're working out the details right now regarding dates, etc.

We're going to be having a food drive at the both Publix, in Sandestin & WaterColor the weekend before it, so we can have that on hand for families/people in need also.

By the weekend, we will have more info on it & I will post the flyer on here. Aleonard, this was the info that I was saying on FB that I needed to talk to you about.

I know it is going to be the 7th of December at SWHS. As soon as I get a press release and the flyer okayed, I'll get it to you!

Please remember, too, that Angel Food Ministries is available through Good News United Methodist Church in Santa Rosa Beach. For $30 you get approx. $70 worth of groceries.

PJ's Coffee is doing a wonderful thing -- they've asked customers to bring in the makings of a Thanksgiving dinner -- stuffing mix, canned green beans, cream of mushroom soup, instant mashed potatoes, jar of gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and apple pie filling. They will donate a turkey to go with the canned goods and give it to a family in need.

Thanks, PJ's!
