Merry Christmas! Only five days left! I love this time of year. Everyone is happier and more giving. It is a fun time.
Our food drive at Smith's Food and Drug was a success! We collected 1,294 food items ( 1,056 cans and 238 other food items) and $143 in cash for the Utah Food Bank. We were excited that so many people were willing to give. We were planning to be at Smith's on Saturday, December 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We had so much success on Saturday that we decided to do it on Monday, December 18 too.
Fox 13 News came and interviewed me on Saturday and aired it that night at 9 and Monday morning. We were excited that so many people were involved. Some people were so generous that they donated large bags full of food and did not ask for a candle. They just wanted to donated to the Utah Food Bank. One lady bought a $50 Smith's gift card so they could buy what they needed. I was impressed at the willingness to give.
We had a lot of success for our first food drive. We'll definitely do it again next year! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year's!

For Every Body's First Annual Food Drive
Christmas is a time of giving. People think more of others than themselves. It is a wonderful time of year to help our communities and give back.
I am excited about this weekend because we are going to be gathering food for families. This year we at For Every Body teamed up with the Utah Food Bank, and Smith's Food and Drug Center to help people who are in need of food this winter. This Saturday, December 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., we will be giving candles in exchange for non perishable food items at Smith's at 210 E. 700 S. in Pleasant Grove, Utah. We hope to gather a large amount of food to help families and people in need of food this winter.
We are giving away our large cinnamon Holiday Traditions candles. Cinnamon is one of my favorite fragrances. I am excited to be giving them away!
Smith's was excited when we told them what we wanted to do because they are already trying to raise food for the Utah Food bank. All of their bins were empty when we went there. Hopefully, tomorrow we can fill them!
This will be our first annual food drive. We hope to do it every Christmas from now on. It should be a success!

Christmas is in the Air!
Hello!
Christmas is in the air! There is snow on the mountains and everyone is getting ready for Christmas! I love this time of year when everyone is happy and busy thinking about everyone else. There is something special about this time of year that you don't see at any other time.
It was another great week at For Every Body. We had a giant sale at our outlet store this past weekend. It was fun. I helped at the store during the sale. Hundreds of people came! It was awesome. We sold more candles and more people came than we have ever seen before.
It was a great sale. We sold some of our large 26 oz. candles for only $2! People were going crazy! It was fun. The sale is great because it helps our customers get gifts at extremely low prices every year before Christmas. So it not only helps us, but it also helps them too.
Have fun shopping and getting ready for Christmas!
