Frostbite Food Drive

Volunteers at the Father Fred Foundation are asking you to open your heart, your cupboards and your wallet to get ready for the 15th annual Frostbite Food Drive, slated for January 30 to February 8th. It will be located in the parking lot of the Garfield Plaza (Traverse City) in front of Agave Mexican Restaurant where volunteers will be braving the cold to receive your donations to fill the Foundation’s pantry shelves. This year’s goal is to fill two semi trucks with non perishable foods and collect enough cash to help with bulk food purchases throughout the year. Call the Foundation at 947-2055 ext 16 for more information.
