It's That Time of the Year Again!

WOW! It's cold outside. Of course, it is late November. (Seriously, where did this year go?)

Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. While we'll be enjoying many holiday feasts, there are many who won't be as lucky, which is why I love WMMR's Preston and Steve. For the past several years they have hosted the Campout For Hunger campaign. All donations benefit Philabundance, a terrific organization.

There are two ways to donate this year:
  • Donations will be accepted Monday through Thursday from 6am to about 9pm, and Friday, December 5th from 6am to 10am, at the Metroplex Shopping Center in Plymouth Meeting, PA.

  • You can also donate throughout November if you can't make it to the Plymouth Meeting location with the Camp Out Head Start Program.
Acceptable and most needed non-perishable food items include: (Pop Top Lids are always welcome) Canned / Shelf Stable Tuna, Canned Beef Stew, Canned Chili, Canned Pasta, Beef Ravioli, 100% Fruit & Vegetable Juice (Shelf Stable, Cans or Plastic Bottles only), Creamy Peanut Butter (Plastic Containers only), Jelly (Plastic Containers only), Mac & Cheese, Canned Pork & Beans/Baked Beans, Canned Green Beans, Canned Corn, Canned Fruit Cocktail, Breakfast Cereal or Hot Cereal, Boxed Sugar and non-perishables that won't go bad too soon.

For the past three years, I've gone and dropped off bags of food. The Giant in the Metroplex makes it easy, too, by making up $10 bags you can purchase and drop off at the Camp Out site.

If you're in the area, I hope you'll stop by and make a donation. Not only is it for a good cause, but it's great big fun, too. Last year: I saw Jedi Knights.
