The Running Zone Makes Donation

I arrived at work to find three huge bags of donated items from our friends at The Running Zone.  I opened the bags and found them full of athletic shoes, lightly used ones.  Deb got in touch with Mimi at The Running Zone and found out about their program to collect lightly used shoes from their customers for donation to EGFBS.

These are just a portion of the shoes donated.

In addition to the lightly used shoes, our friends at The Running Zone included some new sports clothing. 

Thank you to our kind partners at The Running Zone, an active sponsor to our Run 4 Independence on Saturday, June 30, 2012.  We appreciate your faithful support to Elk Grove Food Bank Services over the years.

Pepsi's Shoe Drive

Jeff Pugh from the Pepsi corporate office dropped off 90 pairs of shoes that they collected during their shoe drive for the Holidays.

We had a couple of photos of the generous people from Pepsi who delivered these shoes for our clients' precious feet; but the photos were too blurry to post.

We at EGFBS appreciate and thank Pepsi for their continued support.

Needs at the Clothes Closet

Our usually bubbly and upbeat Clothes Closet program manager, Susan, has been a bit subdued lately. The Clothes Closet is very low on socks, underwear and shoes for children, and she is concerned about the shortage.

"These items are usually donated new, and these donations have not been coming in." Susan related her worry for our youngest clients. "We cannot fill client requests for these necessary items and these little ones have to go without."

If you are able, please consider donating a package of child-sized socks, underwear, or a pair of shoes to our Clothes Closet.
