Food drive drop-offs continue at Blooming Boutique thru Feb. 28
In partnership with Blooming Boutique stores, the GFWC Zwaanendael Women’s Club is sponsoring a winter food drive to benefit the Epworth Food Pantry, a crucial community resource helping more than 200 individuals each week.
Donations can be dropped off from from Friday, Jan. 12 to Thursday, Feb. 29, at Blooming Boutique, 107 Second St., Lewes; Blooming Boutique, 36932 Silicato Drive, Millsboro; and Blooming Boutique Accessories, 102 Savannah Road, Lewes. As an extra incentive, Blooming Boutique owner Micha Seto is offering a $1 store certificate for every item donated at her three listed stores.
Requested food items are Spam, canned chicken, Dinty Moore beef stew, canned chili, pancake mix and syrup, potatoes and rice in pouches or boxes, baked beans, boxed pasta and sauce in plastic containers, ramen, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, peanut butter, and jams and jellies. Also needed are full-size containers/packages of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, deodorant and feminine hygiene products, as well as hats, scarves, gloves, socks, paper towels, tissues, toilet paper and metal hand-operated can openers.
Those preferring to contribute financially can do so in the store or online at BloomingBoutique.com/donate. All cash donations received will be entirely allocated to purchasing food items for the drive.
"The partnership between Blooming Boutique and the Zwaanendael Women's Club aims to make a tangible impact on individuals and families in need within our community," said Seto. "Your support, whether through donations or monetary contributions, will significantly aid the Epworth Food Pantry in its mission to alleviate hunger and provide essential resources. Together, let's unite in generosity and ensure that no one in our community goes without essentials this winter season.”
