Imagination Farms Imagines a World Without Hunger
June 19, 2010
The Gordon Family of Imagination Farms in Davie held a very successful weekend food drive for the WECARE food pantry. Over 1,200 food items were collected and hundreds of toiletries. Sherrie and Arthur Gordon were instrumental in leading the food drive with considerable help from their family and neighbors. Susan Baigelman, Director of WECARE, noted "especially during the summer season when kids are home from school and free and/or reduced school lunches are not available, WECARE needs
community help more than ever. Thanks to the great efforts of the Gordons and the rest of Imagination Farms, WECARE shelves will be better stocked to meet the summer demand".
For information on how to hold your own food drive, please contact Susan Baigelman at (954)792-6700 or view our website. You'll be glad you did!
The WECARE community outreach program operates a food pantry that provides over 3,000 bags of groceries each year to our neighbors in need regardless of race, religion, age, gender or nationality. We could not accomplish this important mitzvah if not for the generous donations we receive year round from caring individuals, organizations, schools, synagogues and businesses in our community.
"The ability to obtain enough food for an active, healthy life is the most basic of human needs"
Donations are greatly needed and appreciated to keep our shelves stocked so we can help the many men, women and children needing our services throughout the year.
WECARE also collects small toiletry items, provides free medical equipment loans including wheelchairs, walkers and canes, distributes hand-knitted items to nursing home residents, and collects eyeglasses and hearing aids that are sent to New Eyes for the Needy. Donations of toiletry items and medical equipment are very much appreciated.
