This is Good News - Treasure Food Boxes!
http://www.thetreasurebox.org Order online by credit card or come into the store with cash orders before November 8 –must pick up at our site on NOVEMBER 21st between 12:30 and 2:30. The Treasure Box provides local families and individuals with a great tool to assist in stretching monthly food budgets – a pre-assembled box of popular and nutritious grocery food items worth between $65-100 that can be purchased for only $30.

Each box contains 21-25 pounds of high quality, frozen foods including chicken, pork, beef or seafood, in addition to vegetables, fruit, a side dish and a dessert. Now that’s a great way to stretch your budget!

And anyone can order –tell your family, friends and neighbors!

This will be available very month. Check out their site to see all the incredible food that is included.

Do you shop on-line?

If you do, then you probably use amazon.com for many purchases like I do. If you enter their on line store through the goodshop site & choose Foster Care Auxiliary as the charity to benefit then a % of your purchase will help without costing you a cent! http://www.goodsearch.com/amazon/coupons I just purchased 3 boxes of those coffee pods for the coffee makers we often have in the distribution center for $5 each – What a deal! And I helped the Auxiliary, but when that small check comes each quarter, it looks like I’m the only one who is shopping through goodshop for us. ? Please get on board now and if you are purchasing your holiday gifts or doing any other shopping on-line (much better than fighting the crowds) – give it a try.

Thanks for your support!
