Help JCI Greenfield "Stuff the Truck" for Feeding America!

JCI Greenfield has partnered with Westbury Bank's Home Loan Center and Remax Premier Properties to hold a "Stuff the Truck" Food Drive benefiting Feeding America.

Following the success of our recent food drive, JCI Greenfield has partnered with Westbury Bank's Home Loan Center and Remax Premier Properties to hold a "Stuff the Truck" Food Drive benefiting Feeding America.

The summer has put a drain on food pantry supplies, and we want to help boost them back up on time for school to start. This Saturday, Aug. 20, we will be at the Rawson Pick and Save (7201 S 76th St) from 8 am to 12 pm.

In June, Greenfield residents helped the Jaycees collect over 300 meals worth of food. Our hearts were warmed by your generous response to our plea for help. One woman met us at the door as we were setting up with a cart FULL of groceries. She described herself as a coupon queen and said she'd used a collection of coupons and smart shopping to buy the whole cart for less than $20! Her effort put us in great spirits to continue the day. Another couple, visiting from out of state, came up with two full bags. They said they volunteer at a food pantry back home and know how important local efforts like ours are to keeping pantries stocked. Can by can, box by box, we filled our bins and saw how amazingly generous Greenfield can be.

This time, we have partnered with two local businesses to make this event even bigger and better. The Westbury Bank Home Loan Center is sending volunteers and supplies. Remax Premier Properties will be bringing their moving truck, and we want to see it filled with food!

Can you step up to help us? Hunger is a tragic reality for too many of our neighbors. Let's do our part to Stuff the Truck!
