I cannot believe that December is here already!! We know that this time of year is busy, full of festivities, feasting and family but in our hustle and bustle, we don’t want to forget about those who go without this time of year. Many people in our community spend the holiday season in a much less festive way; many are starving. We know you care and we want to make it super easy for you to show that you care.
For 20 days, December 1 – December 20, we are placing bins in front of the main office at Park Road Montessori and we are asking that every one bring at least one can and drop it in. All donations collected will go to Loaves & Fishes food pantry to feed needy families in our community. In 2015, Loaves and Fishes provided groceries to 71,766 people – 48% of these people were children. Learn more about the wonderful work that they do here.
So open your pantry and see what you have or pick up an extra can or two while grocery shopping. There is a priority need for canned meats, canned fruits and canned pasta but all cans are welcome.
Today is December 1st. The countdown has begun………
Awesome post and cause. Thank you!

Our church is collecting for Loaves & Fishes too. On Thanksgiving we began donating a can a day! Love that so much of our community is helping L&F this season!
