It is a great city of section 8 and tornado looters. Do not compare these deadbeats to the hard workers of yesteryear!, their spawn will only want more entitlements. Not every one that is on the link card or medical card stay on it. Or want to be on it. Situation do change from good to bad and bad to good. And at least there is someone that is willing to try to help out.

Well Cap, we are on the same page :-) I was thinking we should figure out how to do a SOL fundraiser for B N A B P, when I was opening this thread!! I know they have a donation can at StreatorHome. I saw it yesterday when I was there.

Are you doing any form of fundraisers? If someone would like to donate or help out how do they do so? Good morning everyman. Yes we have donation cans located at Streator Home, Streator Community, SOCU, Chix's, Chippers, Country Cupboard and Spring Lake Financial. As for fundraisers, the Streator Community Center is having their next Quarter Auction next Thursday, September 18th. The proceeds go to Blessings. I heard it is a lot of fun! I believe it starts at 6pm but I will post when I get final details for advertising. Blessings is also having our annual "Pack The Bus Fundraiser" Saturday November 1st at Kroger. We will have a bus parked outside and will be asking for food donations to help us pack the bus! We will have a food list available to take in the store with you. There will also be a bake sale and of course, monetary donations are always welcome....we will have a table set up for that as well.

Ransom was the same way. So the answer would be no BUT we would gladly include both schools if they would accept the program. Really? Let me talk to Tom, I bet he never was told about the offer. I don't think Ransom is quite as needy as Streator, but I know there are several who could really use the help. Thanks for what you do and I will PM you when I hear.

Actually a teacher that works at the Ransom School asked us to bring the program there because she sees the need. I called and left messages with the secretary and also emailed the principal, but no response. It doesn't matter how many kids per school....one school we had only one child...another two....another 75. Just depends. But any child who is on the reduced/free breakfast and lunch program is eligible for the program.

Now, can a person donate food instead of money? If so, give me some ideas of what you are looking for, please.

Thanks for your response. And if someone donates food, could they drop off at the same places for donation of money, or is there another drop off place?

The public(taxpayer) feeds them breakfast, snack, lunch and afternoon snack at school . Then provides food stamps, housing, medical, school supplies, coats, free schooling, junior college, and aides because the spawn cannot function at half their expected level. These people should not reproduce!! Keep their knees together or sterilize them, but do not borrow money from china to raise them. Get in reality. You think that kids eat snacks all day long while in school. On top of that, the elementary schools was granted a grant for all kids to eat breakfast and lunch for free. So what do you think about that?

E, where do you think money for a grant comes from?? The government has to borrow money to pay for all of giveaways, no high paying jobs, record deficits, and illegal aliens, that is all this dumbacrat n•gger loving president can show show for 2 terms.
