Simply Beautiful’s Food Drive

October 15, 2010

Simply Beautiful has signed up again as a donation location to help the Food Banks of Contra Costa, Solano, Santa Clara, and San Mateo counties. Last year we had an overwhelming response to our food drive! The drive will be going on from Monday, October 18th until Monday, December 20th so there is plenty of time to get your giving hats on and help some of our fellow Bay Area residents who are having a difficult time this year.

As a thank you for your generosity, Simply Beautiful will give you 20% off your body wrap when you donate 3 food items or more! Please feel free to donate items at anytime! *This discount is available for one-time redemption only.

In case you need some extra motivation on what to give, here are some items that food banks are in need of the most:
– Meals in a Can (stew, chili, soup)
– Tuna and Canned Meat
– Peanut Butter (in plastic containers)
– Canned Foods with pop-top lids
– Low-Sugar Cereals
– 100% Fruit Juices in single serving boxes
– Canned Fruit in juice
– Canned Vegetables (low salt)
– Dry Beans
– Enriched Rice or Pasta
– Powdered Milk

Child Friendly List
– Unsweetened Applesauce
– Graham Crackers
– Raisins
– Pop-Top Tuna
– Pretzels
– Granola Bars (without peanuts)
– 100% Fruit Rolls
– Low-Sugar Cereal Bowls
– Fruit Cups

Simply Beautiful would like to pass on healthy eating habits to our fellow Bay Area residents so please choose items that are nutritious and make conscious decisions about what to give (please avoid donating Top Ramen Noodles). Other items to avoid are those in glass containers and bulk quantities of rice, flour and sugar.

We cannot wait to get started with all the giving on Monday!
