The Kimball Area Community Food Shelf would like to send out a request to the Kimball community to please help out once again with the Annual March food drive. All money and food donations are welcomed, with open arms and thankful hearts. The Kimball Area Food Shelf serves 15 to 18 families monthly, which means approximately 1,000 pounds of food is given out each month. Of course, that depends on what is actually available in food and non-food products to give out. Food items that we could use would be: Brown sugar, powdered sugar, 5 pound sacks of granulated sugar, 5 pound sacks of flour, Jell-o (regular and sugar-free), pudding, pasta, canned vegetables, cereal, oil and shortening, Hamburger and Chicken Helper, cream soups, tomato sauce, canned whole tomatoes, instant potatoes, instant rice, canned chicken, tuna, cake mixes, frosting, kool aid, hot cocoa, coffee (1 pound can), toilet paper, paper towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, razors, shaving cream, laundry detergent (small size), fabric softener, all-purpose cleaner, furniture polish, and toilet bowl cleaner. The Alan Shawn Feinstein Foundation will make a matching or percentage donation for all cash donations. Food items may also receive some credit for a cash benefit through the Feinstein Foundation, depending on the amount collected nationally, up to $1 million. Your cash donation this March, could be doubled, or even tripled. This would allow the food shelf to purchase many surplus foods from Heartland Second Harvest in St. Paul at a discount, and to further expand its financial base. The Kimball Area Community Food Shelf serves the Kimball area school district, which is very extensive. We do our best to serve anyone who comes to us. All we ask is for some background information, that they only come once every 30 days, and that they do not go to any other food shelf. Your donations are very important to us and your community. Please open your hearts and give what you are able. Thank You.
