Food Bank of CENC Social Media Mixer Tomorrow Night!

We’ve been talking about it for over a month now and it’s finally here!
Tweet Divas is proud to sponsor the kick-off event for the 3rd annual Kids Summer Stock campaign.
In 2008, the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina launched a food and funds drive called Kids Summer Stock. The purpose was to reverse the historical decrease in donations to the food bank at a time of the year when the need increases. More than 250,000 children across the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina’s 34-county service area who currently have access to the free and reduced meal program at school will soon be on summer break. This creates a deficit of millions of meals that are not available for these children. Kids Summer Stock has provided a combined total of 3 million meals to children and their families over the past two summers. The 2010 Kids Summer Stock Food and Funds Campaign kicks off at the main warehouse on Tarheel Drive in Raleigh on Thursday, June 3 with a Social Media Mixer. (Food Bank CENC Press Release, 5/28/2010)
We’ll have special guests in attendance. We’ll have opportunities for you to talk to current volunteers to learn all about why they do what they do. For the kids, we’ll have pictues with Souper Can and a lemonade stand, just to name a couple of the activities. There will be drawings for amazing prizes thanks to the Carolina Hurricanes, Adlerhost mountain cabin in Boone, Regal Cinemas, and several of our other sponsors.
But, it’s not all about that. It’s about raising awareness for this need. While the event is FREE, donations are welcomed. Who knows – you might help a child in your own backyard and for some of you, you won’t even know it.
Join us tomorrow night at the Food Bank of CENC headquarters on Tar Heel Drive in Raleigh from 6-8:30pm. It’s sure to be fun for the whole family!
