Pay It Forward weekend

Many of you know or have heard that I am a fan of the movie "Pay It Forward".  Yup, I am- guilty as charged.  My fondest wish is that we would all try to listen to this young person and just "pay it forward".  It isn't difficult to do.  The oldsters used to call it courtesy or good deeds.  Whatever we call it, we have kinda lost the knack for it.

So Honey & I started this idea a couple of years ago.  And I am pleased to say it is growing.  A shop in the midwest asked to borrow the idea.  I said:  Pay it Forward with our good wishes!

So here it is.  On Black Friday and Small Business Saturday we will host our 3rd Annual Pay It Forward weekend.  Our goal is to support the Central PA Food Bank.  The Food Bank support so many grass roots programs in our area and they have reached out to those folks in NY/NJ who have lost everything.  Here's our chance to help our neighbors too.  When you are groaning Thursday afternoon after eating all that scrumptious bounty, think about what you can do to help.

Here are some ideas to help.  The High priority items that the Food Bank needs are:
canned tuna
cereal
Mac & cheese
canned fruits & veggies
packaged pasta and rice
canned soups
peanut butter
canned & dried beans
Baby food, cereal and Formula

Got some extras in the pantry?  We'll take them.  Don't have anything on hand but want to help?  Monetary donations are gratefully accepted.

Oh and you "earn" and 15% discount on all of the regular priced merchandise!

Our thank you to you!  Happy Thanksgiving all!
