Food drive for the homeless shelter!

We're having a food drive starting November 18, 2016 through November 27, 2016. But this isn't just any normal food drive, we're adding a competition portion to this for a bit of incentive! Each class time will have their own bucket for donations, which ever class time put in the most donation wins. Which ever class time wins, gets to choose what the instructor and the coaches get to teach in. For example, if 6 am class time won and wanted their instructor male instructor to wear a sports bra and a tennis skirt, they fully agreed to whatever the members pick. So be sure to bring in as much canned food and other non-perishable healthy options as possible! Below I will be putting a list of items that we will be needing for the food drive. 

 Along with this we're also accepting donations for No Shave November. We're hoping to raise around $5,000. If we reach this goal, we will be having a special banquet in honor of all those who contributed in one way or another. Whither it be with the food drive, or with  No Shave November. We think November is the time of year to show how grateful we are for this business, and we'd love to share all we can with our communities. During the month of December, we will also be having toy/clothing drive, so be ready for that!

Here's what we're looking for, for the food drive!
  1. Proteins: canned meat (tuna, ham, or chicken), beef stew, chili, peanut butter, canned or dried beans, Boost/Ensure
  2. Fruits and vegetables: 100% fruit juice, canned fruits and vegetables, jam and jelly, fruit preserves, spaghetti sauce
  3. Complete meals: pasta, boxed meals, instant potatoes, hearty soups
  4. Items corresponding to special diets: gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, low sugar or sugar-free, low sodium, etc.
  5. Staple foods: sugar, flours, coffee, oils (olive, coconut, palm, corn, canola, etc)
  6. Garden produce that has been washed
  7. Infant formula, baby food, and diapers (especially size 5, 6, and pull-ups)
  8. Items specific to particular ethnic groups
  9. Personal hygiene products: shampoo, deodorant, soap, diapers, toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, toothpaste, toothbrushes
  10. Cleaning supplies: laundry detergent, dish detergent, paper towels, kitchen and bathroom cleaners
    *Please note that we would prefer no glass jars. For safety, we are unable to accept home-canned food.

  1. Overall, it's excellent, as usual. Love that you used the pops of color, but I can't read the green. Links are great. The underlining is a bit excessive and your picture is too big.
