Join Us Saturday, October 5, 2019 for our 6th Annual “Stuff the Truck” Charity Drive
Stuff the Truck has traditionally been held in November on the day before Thanksgiving, but since food pantries are in need year-round, we’re switching things up a bit. This year’s event will be in conjunction with our fall Client ReWARDs Day on Saturday, October 5th to benefit Carriage Town Ministries Shelter and Food Pantry in Flint, MI. It will be held 10am-2pm at all 4 of our design centers where attendees will have chances to win some awesome prizes.
We will be collecting non-perishable food items, toiletries, bedding and winter wear from members of the community. Next time you are out shopping for groceries, grab a few extra items and help us fill our truck for those in need. Monetary donations will be accepted, as well.
Every 5 items donated will get you a raffle ticket to enter to win a prize of your choice! Prizes include:
- Amazon.com: $500 Gift Card
- MSU: 2 tickets to November 30th game
- Red Wings: 4 tickets to October 22nd game
- Restaurant Bundle: $50 Gift Card to each
- Detroit Lions: 4 tickets to October 20th, OR 2 tickets to December 15th game
