Food Sharing

We’re just days away from the launch of Mission’s new and exciting food-sharing app & website, Grapevine Food Sharing.  Official launch date is November 23rd, and they will be celebrating by hosting a Christmas Blitz along with Mission's Christmas Bureau & Food Centre.  From 11am -3pm on November 24th, please help fill the coffers with gifts and non-perishable food items for those in need. They will be at the Junction Mall Christmas Bureau, next to The Source.
 
If you haven’t yet heard about the app/website, Grapevine is a FREE tool to help people connect to share food and related resources.  You can use it to donate surplus food, advertise community meals, donate volunteer time and money.  You can also sign up to receive food and related items.  It takes seconds to sign up and you can configure the settings to notify you based on your interests and needs.  It works just as easily as any social media app.  

They will have many Riverside College volunteers on hand and we're asking Mission to swamp us with giving! Let's set a record for the most ever donated on a single day.
 
The Christmas Bureau especially needs toys and gifts suited to tweens and teens.  They can never get enough items for this group, especially for boys.
 
As for food,  need canned meat and fish, cereals, pasta, canned vegetables and fruits, rice, and beans.  Baby items are also always needed!

They will have giveaways and will be officially launching the app, Grapevine. Bring your phone and we will help you sign up. It's FREE!
 
Grapevine officially launches on November 23rd.  Check out their website, www.grapevinefoodsharing.com next Friday
