Bring Manna Food to CVC Holiday Party
by Sheri Leiken 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

Hello Club! Tis the season to share. Our club is one of the biggest of any kind in Conejo Valley, and it is the season to give. Let's all bring at least 1-2 boxed or canned food and non- perishable products to donate to MANNA, the Conejo Valley Food Bank. They also accept cash donations and gift cards, so they can strategically purchase food during lean months before holiday food drives begin. The impact your contribution has is great; better enabling Manna to serve the some 20,000 residents throughout the Conejo Valley who struggle with food insecurity. High Priority Items: Canned Tuna Canned Meat Mac & Cheese Hamburger Helper Canned Pasta Canned Stew Canned Chili Peanut Butter Jelly & Jams Canned Vegetables Canned Corn Canned Fruit Cereal (hot & cold) Soup (cans or mixes) Boxed Rice Boxed Pasta Manna accepts monetary donations and gift cards from all grocery stores, including Costco. With these funds, Manna is able to stretch its food buying power. And, when you combine a cash donation with your food donation we are able to provide a bag of groceries for pennies on the dollar. We will have boxes for the food at the Bellini's. Please drop your donations inside, give to a friend to turn in, or catch me before a ride. Thank you so much, Sheri Leiken CVC President Please come join the festivities at the: CVC Holiday Party We are happy to announce that this year's CVC party will be hosted at Bellini's in Westlake Village.
