Frequently Asked Questions about the Giving Tree Food Baskets
Q: I have a frozen turkey (or ham) which Id like to donate for use in the food
baskets we distribute. Is this something you could use?
A: Since we do
not have freezer or refrigerator space to store them, we can accept such
donations only on the morning of December 18, the day of food basket
distribution.
Q: I am a senior citizen and would like to put together a
food basket.
However, it is difficult for me to carry all the items
necessary to fill the basket. What do you suggest I do?
A: There are two
options for you. (1) You could purchase gift certificates from Jewel or
Dominicks for the family to shop for their own food, and include them with a
small food or fruit gift basket. Or (2) Shop with a friend or family member for
the necessary food items and let them help you load it into your car on Sunday,
December 18. There will be plenty of teens and other volunteers available on
that day to carry your basket from your car into the gym.
Q: Im never
sure how much to spend on my food basket and or food gift certificates. What do
you suggest?
A: We suggest you focus on the size of the family you have
selected. Spend what you yourself would spend on a special holiday meal for your
family of 2, 4, or 6. It is also a nice idea to include extra non-perishables
which the family can use throughout the season, since these food baskets replace
our regular December Food Pantry distribution. Suggested items are found on the
red tag you picked from the tree.
Q: I have purchased all my food basket
items. Now, how should I put them together for the recipient?
A: We have
found that using a large laundry basket or a plastic storage bin works extremely
well, and is a nice useful additional gift. A sturdy corrugated box will also
work well. Any of these suggestions make for an easy and safe handling of the
basket.
YOUR GENEROSITY IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
