Donate to your local food pantry!

Dear Citizens of Walled Lake and Wixom,

When you come home from work or school, you probably don’t have to worry about grabbing a snack, or dinner, right? Well some people do. Donating food can change lives.
A few weeks ago, my class and I went to the local Hospitality House. We were shocked at how much food they had stacked in their warehouse. It turns out that “needy” people can come in, and take home a limited amount of food for their families. Walled Lake Elementary donated 970 pounds of food that helped people have a nice
Thanksgiving. I think you should donate to your local Hospitality House.
Many families cannot afford food; you can help them by donating to your local charity. We also helped stack the food. It was an amazing experience, and I felt good knowing I helped a family who really needed it.
Imagine if you were in need, and had to feed a family of four, or more! The Hospitality House has helped over 4,000 families, and 4,059 children! All communities have families that are in need, think of the children, you’d be helping your community, and all the people in it.
Everyone should be grateful for all the food they have. Over all, 199,858 pounds of food have been distributed in the Walled Lake/Wixom area between January and September of this year. People who need food depend on Gleaners food bank, and donations. I greatly encourage you to donate food, or hygiene items (toothbrushes, diapers, etc.). If you can’t donate food, donate your time, and volunteer at your local food pantry. You can also go to www.hospitalityhousefoodpantry.org and learn more!

Thank you!

Sincerely,


Jared G.
