GRACE HOUSE TONS OF
LOVE PROJECT
The second annual “Grace
House Tons of Love Food
Project" is underway and will
run through Christmas. The
Grace House distributed 110
tons (220,(XX) lbs) of food last
year to the poor and the needy
in the Fort Valley Community.
The Grace House pays .10 cents
per pint of food at the Middle
Georgia Community Food Bank
Macon Georgia. This equates to
just $200 per ton (2,000 lbs).
We are asking churches, busi¬
nesses, clubs, schools, organiza¬
tions, individuals to please con¬
sider sponsoring one or more
tons of food for the holiday sea¬
son. 100 0/0 of the sponsorship
will go to purchase food at the
Grace House.
Our goal this year is 100 tons
of food sponsored. The demand
upon Grace House are ever
increasing due to teh economic
down fall and high unemploy¬
ment rate. We are seeing more
an dmore poeple who find them¬
selves for the first time relying on
such organizations as the Grace
House due to loss of job or
unemployment benefits. Never
befoe has it been more iimportant
than for the community to reach
out to those in need. Remember
most of us are one or two pay
checks from being in the same
situation.
Again please consider a one
time tax deductable gift to “The
Grace House Tons of Love Food
Project (make checks payable to
“Grace House")
