2020 GHNA 10th ANNUL “HOLIDAY LIGHTS” FOOD DRIVE CONTEST
DECEMBER 12, 13 & 14 (Saturday, Sunday & Monday)
Many of our neighbors put up beautiful lighting displays in their yard for the Holiday Season for all of us to enjoy! So join your neighbors in the spirit of the season to help restock the Richardson Network of Community Ministries. If you plan to decorate your house/yard this year and wish to participate, please text or call 214-663-2292 to register as a collection spot. A gift wrapped collection box and a yard sign will be brought to your home to be used as a “voting box” to collect non-perishable canned & boxed food items. One food item = one vote and “stuffing” the voting box is allowed! 🙂 All “voting boxes” & signs will be picked up on Tuesday, December 15th.
Last year nearly 1,000 lbs. of food was collected and we would LOVE to collect more this year! Due to the coronavirus pandemic this year, the need is much greater than ever before. All residents are welcome to participate and addresses will be listed on this website under ANNOUNCEMENTS heading next weekend. The participant in the “Holiday Lights” contest who collects the most food items will receive a $25.00 gift credit from Calloway’s Nursery and a 30% discount in your birthday month! 🙂 A Win-Win situation! Last year, we had 2 winners with the same number of food items collected!!! Winner(s) will be posted under Announcements, Nextdoor & FaceBook on this EVENTS page under the photos below by December 18th.
So be sure to tell your neighbors, friends, co-workers and family about this fun and helpful cause for the families in need during this holiday season. As they drive around the neighborhood to enjoy the lighting displays, they can “VOTE” many, many times 🙂 Let’s brighten the holidays with your generosity for people in need by participating or donating food items.
The following address of our wonderful neighbors who are participating this year are as follows:
1207 Waterview Dr. — 1515 Waterview Dr. — 905 Vinecrest Ln. — 748 Vinecrest Ln.
