103rd Week Update - Miles Neighborhood Food Collection Project

Hi Folks,

Wow!

We donated 13,299 lbs. of food in 2010.

In other words, at 1.3 lbs. per meal,
· We donated 10,230 meals
                      or
· We fed 3,410 people three meals in one day.

Either way, we helped each other make a big difference. And just to compare, in 2009 we donated 9,203.5 lbs. That’s a 44.5% increase this year. Our cash contribution was impressive, too. The $2,654.70 amounted to $23,892.30 in Community Food Bank food and services based on their $1.00 = $9.00 ratio. In 2009 our cash donated was $1,953.38.

Thanks everyone, I am so proud to be your neighbor.

Basket No. 52

This is the last donation basket for 2010 … but it is much like the previous 51 … filled to the brim.

We collected a total of 216 lbs. of food, including 16 lbs. from The Axis Food Mart. The money we donated amounted to $96.50 … $75.00 in checks and $21.50 in cash.

See you Sunday,

Peter
