Thanksgiving Day Canned Food Drive @ The Mounds

PDF to Flyer: //www.whatliesbeyond.org/flyers/TDayFlyer2011.pdf


Once again, the What Lies Beyond Jeep Club will be set up in the Pavilion at the Mounds on Thanksgiving Day collecting canned food and money to help the Eastern Michigan Food Bank!  


Last year we  collected a whopping 300Lbs of food!  

With each dollar raised, the Eastern Michigan Food Bank can buy $14 worth of food for families in need!  

So if you plan on doing some Thanksgiving Day Wheeling, drop by the Pavilion at the Mounds and help us help families in this desperate time!  

Oh! and we will have hot coffee and coco, as well as some goodies to munch on!





THANK YOU!

Official count of cash, and all I can say is WOW!! The wheeling community has amazed me once again! With the help of all of you, we managed to raise $469.85, and a boat load of canned goods (amount will be posted after it gets weighed). To everyone who came out and showed their support, THANK YOU!!!!!!! The Eastern Michigan Food Bank is able to leverage $1 into $16 of food to help families in need, that means that today, we (as the wheeling community) were able to provide families in need with over $7,500 dollars worth of food! It makes me proud to call myself an off-road enthusiast after a day like today!

Thanks again for the support, and thanks for a fun filled day of safe responsible wheeling! Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless!

Thanks Again to everyone who stopped by and donated food and/or cash for the Eastern Michigan Food Bank.  This was our fifth year at the mounds running what we call our "warming hut" on Thanksgiving day.  We always have a great time meeting everyone and we were thrilled with the donations this year.  We will be back next year to attempt to break our record!

Ed's camera battery died Thursday, so all I saw was one picture of the "thank you gift" mugs.  Anybody else get some pics?

Sorry, I once again did not think to take any pictures

Hi Paul,
When I went to the Mounds this morning, I found another cash donation ($20) toward your efforts!  I'm going to stick it in an envelope and mail it to you.
