Happy Valentines Day!! 😍

MEIJER in Brighton will be starting up the SIMPLY GIVE PROGRAM from

February 14, 2021 through April 10, 2021. During this time, when you purchase a Simply Give $10 Give Card, Meijer will add another $10 with it and give us $20. On Saturday, March 13, 2021 and Saturday, April 3, 2021 are DOUBLE DAYS at MEIJER. For every donation purchased, MEIJER double match Simply Give Card that is purchased. A $100 donation on those two days would equal $300 coming to Bountiful Harvest. Please mark your calendar!

PET FOOD PANTRY

At Bountiful Harvest, we know that your pets are family members. During these difficult economic times, we understand that many people are finding it hard to afford to feed their pets. This is why we are extremely excited to add our new Pet Food Pantry to the list of programs we offer.

Our staff of volunteers is comprised of animal lovers and we are committed to keeping pets in their loving forever homes and out of shelters. We never want anyone to have to sacrifice their pet to a shelter due to the affordability of their food. Now in addition to obtaining your groceries, you will also be offered a full month of food for your dog or cat.

During these stressful times, our animals provide us with comfort and unconditional love that we all need, especially now. We are proud to be one of the few pet food pantries in the state of Michigan.

We are accepting private donations for any kind of pet food. Please know that Bountiful Harvest is here to help your four-legged family member too! Delivery of pet food is only offered with delivery of grocery orders. If you have special circumstances, please contact us.

This program is overseen by an amazing woman, April.
We love her and you will too.

The figures are in and 2020 was a record-breaking year for Bountiful Harvest. Thanks to the residents and businesses in Livingston County we distributed over 530,000 pounds of food to the people in need in our county. Countless clothes, over 1,000 winter coats, boots, gloves, etc. We delivered over 23,000 hot meals. Connected Kidz gave over 100 laptop computers to children who were in need and schooling was virtual. Thank you for making this possible.

Meijer in Brighton has once again held the Simply Give Program and the response on the double days were staggering. We have received the total and it was a very generous $10,760 in food gift cards.
YEAH! Once again the generous people of Livingston County came through for the people in need.

Last year we spent over $130,000 for food. So, if you don’t think what you donated matters much, well please think again. Donations received were from $0.68 to $10,000. It all adds up and meets the need.

We are proud to announce that we now have a Pet Section.
One for Cats and one for Dogs.

Please be assured we will have food for your pet family members. We also have pet clothes, booties, etc.

We are also looking for office help: answer phones, take orders, scheduling, making copies, etc. We need two volunteers to man the phones, etc. Tuesday through Friday 9:00am until 12:00pm and 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Our you can opt for the entire day 9:00am until 4:00pm. The 1^st and 3^rd Saturdays we need office help from 7:30am until 12:00pm.

We are in desperate need of a driver for Thursday afternoons. Please call me if you think you might be interested.

Meijer will be running the Simply Give Program again from February 14, 2021 until April 10, 2021. They have added this campaign due to increased need with COVID. The double days will be Saturday, March 13, 2021 and Saturday, April 3, 2021. This means that on those two days Meijer will not only match the $10 donation and make it $20, they will instead add $20 to your $10 donation and make it $30.

For volunteering, go to Sign Up Genius, put Bountiful Harvest Inc in the search area and it will take you to our page.   You can sign up for the day, time and position of your choice. We especially need help in the afternoon Tuesday through Friday. Drivers are needed for Thursday and Friday afternoons.

   Small Hands Big Hearts applied to Aldi for a monetary donation for Bountiful Harvest. They received the donation in the form of a check for $1,500 and $500 in Aldi Gift cards. WOW! This group of young people are so caring and giving. They are now and will grow to be pillars of the community.

   El Arbol ran a fundraiser for us by taking the part of the rental from their Igloos and donating $3,783 to us. What an ingenious idea. It was a true blessing to the pantry. Thank you El Arbol.

There is so much more I could write about, but I know you would rather wait until next month (hehe)

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS

Have a Blessed Month
