Today, there are so many people that are needy with the struggling economy.To benefit the Bement Food Pantry, Cim-Tek Filtration is holding a “Stock the Pantry Garage Sale” Saturday, September 25, 2010 from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Piatt County Forest Preserve Pavilion in Bement. Mr. Jim Hires, the Executive Director of the Eastern Illinois Food Bank estimates that 1 out of 6 children in Piatt County is in danger of not eating tonight.
We are collecting reusable and sellable items to sell at the “Stock the Pantry Garage Sale.” No clothing please. The collection of items will be at the Piatt County Forest Preserve in Bement, Thursday, September 23, 2010 from 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm and Friday, September 24, 2010 from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. We need volunteers to assist us in setting up and pricing items. Now is the time to start going through your home to gather sellable items for this benefit.
In addition, we are requesting monetary donations, payable to “Bement Food Pantry.” There will be a listing of the organizations that gave monetary donations published in the newspaper after the event.
Thank you for your donations to benefit the community. Every donation will benefit someone in need.
Sincerely,
James L. Ayers
President
