Focus on FORKids

Now thru March 8, 2011 TBH is going to

focus on FORKids! FORKids is a program

run through the Thurston County Food Bank

where volunteers from the community help

assemble food packages for children

(often homeless) to help tide them over

the weekend when they do not have access

to school meals. The kids receive the

packages at school, tucked in their backpacks.

Please donate single serving fruit cups,

raisins or other dried real fruit product -

there will be brightly marked bins/boxes

located at TBH for your donation.

Then please mark your calendar to volunteer

with FORKids on Tuesday, March 8, 2011

from 4 - 6 PM at the Thurston County Food

Bank, 220 Thurston Ave. NE, Olympia, to

help assemble the food packages. All are

welcome - adults, kids, teens & friends!
