Food Drive The Landing at Hawks PrairieThe month of November brings chillier temperatures, fall leaves, and an acknowledgment of the holidays right around the corner.  It’s during this time of year that those struggling with hunger need our help more than ever.  With heating bills climbing and expenses high this time of year, donating to the Thurston County Food Bank is more important than ever.

The Landing at Hawks Prairie is a plaza of retail shops and restaurants that have joined together to help combat hunger.  Participating stores throughout the plaza are collecting food for the Thurston County Food Bank all month long.  And, those shops are giving you an extra incentive to donate when you visit the shopping complex.  Participating stores are offering free items or significant discounts when you support the food drive.

Participating Businesses include Hand and Stone Massage, Cricket, Jack and Jill’s Children’s Salon, Menchies, LA Fitness, Total Nutrition, Americas Best Eye, Popeyes, Sushi go Round, and Mattress Depot and more.

While it’s easy to grab a bag of pasta or few bags of Top Ramen, the food bank has some specific, more nutrient dense items that they would like to encourage you to donate.

  • Canned Chicken, Tuna, Spam, or Salmon
  • Beef Stew
  • Peanut Butter
  • Canned Fruit in their own Juice (not syrup)
  • Canned Soup – Meat and Vegetarian
  • Boxed Cereal
  • Macaroni and Cheese
  • Canned Chili
  • Canned Vegetables

Please consider adding one or more of these items to your shopping list this November.  Then, bring it by The Landing at Hawks Prairie and show your support of the Thurston County Food Bank.   The Food Bank serves over 1400 children each week. There are many hungry families right here in our community.  We hope to help ease that hunger this holiday season.
