"The Big Feed" for Families in Need

Nick's Pizzeria has announced plans for The Big Feed and invites other local businesses to participate and benefit local food pantries.

Local restaurants are invited to help by procuring bulk pantry items typically available at large unit pricing not available to household consumers.  Suggested items include 50 pound sacks of rice, flour, sugar, beans, and oatmeal; any similarly packaged staples will be welcomed. 

To help stem the trend towards animal abandonment in these tough economic times, family pets will be remembered as well. Mac's Feed & Farm Supply is providing a supply of dog food and challenges other feed stores and animal-related businesses to provide other pet food and supplies. 

Any business may participate in The Big Feed by donating items obtained through their own supplier, or by making a financial donation for items to be purchased by Nicks or Mac's. Donated items and cash donations are needed by September 30.

On Saturday, October 3, families, church groups, business organizations and individual volunteers will be hosted at Nick's for a day of measuring, packaging and labeling individual and family-sized portions for delivery to community food banks.  All food will be handled in accordance with Health & Safety standards and cooking instructions will be provided. 

For the convenience of sponsors and volunteers, canned items and toiletries will also be accepted on behalf of local service agencies.  Nick's will continue to serve as a drop point for food pantry donations through the end of the year.
