Food Drive starts next week at the fire house

On Saturday, January 15, 2011 on Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior’s 82nd Birthday over 400 volunteers from Florida International University, Barry University, AARP, and Service For Peace served at three Miami-Dade County Public Parks. In commemoration of Dr. King and the post-activities, the City of Miami selected Fire Stations are participating in a food drive to benefit the Feeding South Florida organization. These efforts will come in a time that more and more people in our community are going to bed hungry.

The food drive is from February 1 to 7.

Everyone is encouraged to bring canned meats, rice and beans (dry or canned), peanut butter, jelly, canned fruits/veggies, macaroni and cheese, and other non-perishable items to participating fires stations. I usually find that the easiet was to do this is to get buy one get one free products at the supermarket, keep one and give one away, or just give both to the cause, doubling up on your giving.

In the Grove, Station 8, at 2975 Oak Avenue will be collecting the food.
