WZZM 13 & Spartan Stores: Food For Families (ends 6/13!)

Posted on by

wzzm food for families

Just a reminder to please make sure you drop something in the WZZM 13 Food For Families shopping cart by this Monday, June 13, 2011.

I spent just $23.62 after using coupons on a $50.13 order at D&W Fresh Market this week, so there are great deals to be had — share them with others in need. Just pick up extras (or choose non-perishable and canned goods from your stockpile) and drop off at any Family Fare, D&W Fresh Market, or other participating location.  The collected food will be distributed to local families by ACCESS of West Michigan.

For more details on the most needed foods, participating drop off locations, and the Ice Cream Social on 6/13/11 from 5:00pm – 6:30pm in the WZZM parking lot, please check the link.

Go give, West Michigan.

Spartan Stores: Support Special Olympics & Get $3.50 in Coupons

spartan stores couponsReminder: You get $3.50 in coupons from Spartan stores (Family Fare, D&W Fresh Market, etc) when you give $1 to support Special Olympics Michigan. Coupons expire 6/11/11.

My brother and his friends have been participating in Special Olympics for as long as I can remember. It’s such a fun and supportive community. In fact, I’m co-chairing a brand new event – a TOGA party – to raise money for the local Kent/Barry county athletes. It’s been taking up a bit of my blogging time lately.  I hope you don’t mind! :)
