2nd NCMC Rummage Sale to Benefit Homeless - Saturday, 6/21/08

Time to make a "clean sweep"!! Spring cleaning is here! Got boxes that were never opened? Last season’s clothes too small... or too big? Organize your closets! Clean out the garage or storage area, & donate those items for a great cause!

Need an added incentive? How about directly helping people in our community who currently live on the street or sleep in their cars? You can make a difference!

Central Coast Friends of the Homeless is hosting its 2nd Rummage Sale and Fundraiser, with 100% of proceeds going directly to help local homeless.

ALL PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT LOCAL HOMELESS. Funds will be used to purchase sleeping bags, socks, toiletries and other essentials that make life a little more bearable for those who find themselves homeless.

This sale is dedicated to the memory of beloved husband and father John Alexander II.

Hunger Awareness Day - Tuesday, June 10

The following is a message from Doug Major, Board of Directors Chairman for Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County:

This Tuesday, June 10th, the Food Bank Coalition is asking citizens and business leaders of San Luis Obispo County to observe Hunger Awareness day with a contribution. In the "One Day, One Dollar" campaign, our ultimate goal is to bring in at least the equivalent of a dollar for every citizen in the county. When we get there, we'll raise over $250,000--enough to feed hungry citizens in SLO County for an entire year!

Last year, our first annual Hunger Awareness Day campaign brought in nearly $120,000. This year our goal is $150,000. With the U.S. economy suffering, there are more people hungry now than ever. We're counting on local businesspeople to help lead the way to meeting the need.

It's easy to help!

* Consider passing the hat among your employees--if each one can give a dollar it will add up!

* Go to www.slofoodbank.org, and use our secure form to donate online

Thank you!
