“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”  –Anne Frank, Diary of a Young Girl, 1952

Each year we have our annual food drive and collect non-perishable food items for our local food pantry.  We ask people to bid with how many food items they can donate and the top bids win a free mini session with disc of images.  This year we announced that our top two bids would also receive a large, gorgeous wooden frame as well!

The bids are in and we want to thank all of you who sent in a bid.  Your generosity is so inspiring and does so much good for the hungry of our community!  We would like to announce the top 6 bids who have won a holiday-themed mini session on November 17th and a disc of the images from that session.  The winners are:

1.  Denise

2.  Lauren

3.  Brandon

4.  Chelsea

5.  Mary

6.  Fran

We are matching the top bid which means that we will be bringing 952 food items to our local food pantry!

We know of a couple other people who have said that they will be dropping off food to donate as well, so though we didn’t quite make our goal this year we are not done collecting food items!  If anyone would like to make a donation, even if it is just cleaning out a couple of the cans from your pantry, we’d love to add more to this number!!  We are confident that when we add in the donations people bring, we will make our goal of beating last year’s number and have more than 1275 food items for the food pantry.

We will be emailing our winners this evening so that they can choose their time slots for the mini sessions on November 17th.

Also, we’d like to congratulate Denise and Lauren who are the winners of the frames!

They both have adorable kids so the frames are going to display their pictures beautifully.

We’ll soon have pictures from the mini sessions as well as a picture of all the food before we bring it to the food pantry.  We’ll be sure to share those updates here on our blog!

THANK YOU AGAIN to all of our winners!  We are so grateful!
