Food Drive 5/1/08-5/31/08

Miller Infiniti Van Nuys is hosting a Food Drive!

It's time for a Food Drive! Miller Infiniti Van Nuys will be holding a food drive from May 1, 2008 through May 31, 2008 to help the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank. This is a great chance to make a difference in our community. I encourage you to join us in our efforts to help our less fortunate neighbors.

The food and funds we raise will help the Foodbank supply food to over 1,000 charitable agency sites that provide food to low-income children, families, senior citizens and individuals in need throughout Los Angeles County.

One in four children in Los Angeles live at or below the poverty line. Of the households served by the Foodbank, 42 percent have one or more adults in the workforce. Yet thousands of these families are still forced to choose between paying the rent and buying groceries.

In the past year, the Foodbank distributed 41 million pounds of food. This year their goal is to collect 44 million pounds of food. Your help and contribution is vitally important.

Here are ways to contribute to this months Food Drive:
Donate nonperishable food items in the Foodbank located in the Miller Infiniti Van Nuys facilities during the drive. To follow this months theme, "Break the Fast," Think of foods you would like to eat for breakfast, like:

*Canned Fruit
*Cereal
*Oatmeal
*Pancake Mix
*Syrup
*Breakfast Squares
*Cereal Bars
*Coffee
*Tea
*Powdered Milk


Thank you for your help!
