Reston Food Drive

Earlier I had posted the email regarding our meeting to collect food. I had then neglected to say the time and place and that would be this Sunday Feb 21 between 12 to 3 at Issac Newton Square. I have no way of knowing if this will be sent by the RA and how many candidates will be there but I at least will be there to collect food and talk about Reston.

So often people have extra items taking up space but not used for one reason or another. They eventually get outdated and have to be discarded. This will be a good way to clean out the cupboard of such items and help someone less fortunate.

Candidates for the current Reston Association will be on hand to help with the donated items and to answer any questions citizens may have regarding their campaigns.

There is an acute need at FACETS for food for the homeless during this sever winter weather we've been having. Particularly in need is :Pop-top soups and pastas- Crackers - single serve packs - Peanut butter & jelly- Canned tuna & chicken Bottled water, Juice boxes, Granola bars/healthy snacks, Cereal, Canned fruits & vegetables, Spaghetti and sauce.

Please do not donate any perishable items or items that have expired their shelf life.

There is also a need for a heavy duty van with which to transport the donated items to FACET headquarters or possibly Reston Interfaith FACET 's sister organization. Please contact Rod Koozmin at 703 945 0171 or any of the candidates regarding this.
