The Common Ground Festival is celebrating 10 years in mid-Michgan. It is a week long concert and community gathering. This year WLNS Channel 6 is the "news and weather authority" for the event and they have selected the Mid-Michigan Food Bank as their "Common Cause" and they are hosting and "Uncommon Food Drive".
Our food bank is especially grateful that we were chosen. This summer, the economics and unemployment in our state have challenged the food bank to get more food and deliver it faster. This may involve more warehouse space, more trucks, more gas to move the trucks, more volunteers to sort food and MORE FOOD.
We are encouraging the public to donate online to help us streamline our efforts and get more food out to the hungery FASTER. By donating online, we are able to purchase more food and deliver it quickly. Food drive collections represent just a small portion of what is needed in our communities. Even the donation of $10 - can help feed a family of 4 for a week. Think what you can do to give people HOPE.
Go to the "Donate" tab at the top of the home page and send your doantion to a family in mid-Michigan quickly and efficiently. Hunger can't wait.
