This is what I do: When shopping at a grocery store or co-op I buy a few
non-perishables to equal about 10% of my estimated total bill. Those go into the
designated food shelf box, drum, or what ever near the checkout lanes. It's a drop in
the bucket, I know, but it's a habit now.
There's a food shelf donation barrel at the Wedge, and for those of you who are going
to see Christmas Carol at the Guthrie, there are containers in the lobby for
non-perishable items. I think the containers are going to be there all through
Christmas, not just during show hours, so you could drop off donations there too. The
United Labor Centre has the Labor Community Services food shelf--I think it's located
at Suite 542.

Friends -- my mom just called me in tears because she heard on the news
that the foodshelves were almost bare. I know everyone is really busy
with Thanksgiving tomorrow -- but if you can find the time:
1. call 952 925-6265 and give a credit card donation
2. buy extra food if you're going to the store and drop it off at your
local food shelf
The main warehouse is in St. Louis Park at 6714 Walker Street --
this is 1 block off highway 7 between 100 and 169
South Minneapolis is at Sabathani Community Center on 38th and
Pillsbury
THE FOODSHELVES CLOSE AT 4:00 TODAY -- SO CALL SOON -- if you get a
message that there is no one there, try again, they don't have too many
people on the phones -- but they are there
If you can't get to it today, send in something when you can, they said
that they are concerned about the entire Holiday Season.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone -- Diane Wiley -- Powderhorn Park
