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!
