Support your local food pantry

Winter is always a time when local food pantries are serving greater numbers of those in need, and this winter is no different. Recent reports from the food pantry at Wil-Mar indicate a constant drain on many food items, often getting depleted as soon as they are stocked. In order to help the Wil-Mar Center meet the high demand associated with this time of year, several Williamson Street businesses & cooperatives have organized a Mid-Winter Food Drive, which will take place during the entire month of FEBRUARY 2006.

Starting February 1, canned goods and non-perishable food items can be donated at collection barrels at various local businesses including Lakeside Press, Mother Fools, Nature's Bakery and Bongo Video.

PD will be tabling at the Wil-Mar Benefit Community Dance Party on Wednesday, February 8, 7:30 pm at the HIGH NOON SALOON, with live Reggae music by Aswah Greggori & the Enforcers, roots & urban soul folk by Adem Tesfaye; and Madison's best Reggae DJs selecting crucial dance numbers, in a Celebration of Bob Marley's Birthday! Caribbean cuisine by Jolly Bob's will be available. Join us for the festivities and SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FOOD PANTRY! Collection barrels will be on hand with the hope of filling them to the rim!

Reduced admission with food donation... Only $5 with non-perishable food item. ( $7 without ). All donations support the Wil-Mar Food Pantry.
