Over the past 3 years, through the incredible generosity of fellow Q'ers, we have raised $22,000 for those in need. This is a particularly tough year as those in need, served by the hard-working volunteers at the Food Bank, have grown to over 1800 clients per MONTH! The majority of food distributed must be purchased! In addition to the food distributed weekly to the long lines at the food bank on Moon Mountain Ave, the Food Bank delivers weekly to shut-ins, holds a Thanksgiving dinner, distrib- utes Christmas gifts, and runs Carols Closet, a no-charge thrift store. This season, we have held raffl es for two E-bikes, propane, and other fundrais- ers but now comes THE BIG ONE! On February 15th we will conduct a drawing for a 1st prize of a $1,000 gift card, 2nd prize of a $250 gift card, 3rd prize of a $100 gift card.
