We will have food collection barrels out from 11/24 through the first of the year. Monetary donations up to $500 each will be matched by The Severns Family Foundation with a total cap of $30,000. Our goal for this year is $80,000 Click here to see a feature on us in Second Harvest's latest annual report. Current total: $84,106.40 (Updated 1/10/11 - Severns Foundation remaining matching funds: $0) WE DID IT! THANK YOU! The Severns-Pease Christmas Display has now raised over 1,000,000 pounds of food since 2003 See Press / Awards page for more details Opening Night: $21,561.70 - 300 lbs Week 1: $15,506.60 - 700 lbs Week 2: $5,301.70 - 500 lbs Week 3: $15,746.30 - 500 lbs Week 4: $8.273.00 - 400 lbs Week 5: $9,684.40 - 300 lbs Week 6: $8,012.70- 0 lbs Donate Online @ Second Harvest's Vitural Food Drive All online donations are matched (up to $500) The Virtual Food Drive allows you to shop for and purchase food on their website. Since they buy in bulk and know what foods they need, this is the best way to stretch your donation dollar. You can also just donate a specific amount of money and not choose any specific foods (even easier). Checks payable to: Second Harvest Food Bank can be mailed to: Dave & Sharon Severns 1168 Tangerine Way Sunnyvale, CA 94087 If you decide to bring food (we match food at $1 for every 2.5 lbs.) please review the following recommendations from Second Harvest: MOST NEEDED FOODS The Food Bank needs nutritious, non-perishable foods: Please avoid donating items in glass containers (they break and make a mess). Powdered milk Peanut butter Pasta Tuna Low sugar cereal Meals in a can (stew, chili, soup) Canned foods with pop-top lids PLEASE AVOID Bulk rice Bulk flour Bulk sugar Mini Marshmellows |
