- As a scrapbooking community we will gather food and other non-perishable items and donate them to our local community food banks.
- The members of the charity fiskamittee and Scrapbook Royalty will be setting up dates and locations where food can be donated. We are hoping this will provide a great opportunity to meet with other fiskateers and papercrafters giving to the same cause and to connect. If there isn't a location near you... by all means, set up your own plan to do the collecting in your area and make the drop off to the food bank of your preference.
- The biggest needs they are seeing at this time are the needs for non-perishable food items such as boxes of Mac n' Cheese, canned food, cereal, spaghetti and tomato sauce, peanut butter, and pasta to name a few. As well, there is a great need for formula, diapers and wipes (new) as these can be expensive items.
- Feel free to collect a brown paper grocery bag and craft it to your heart's delight with a personal message from you... as a fiskateer or crafter. Then fill your bag full of groceries. Check out the dates and times (as they are announced) and decide at which time you want to go and drop off your donation.
- We know the economical crisis is hitting home for so many of us. The Dollar Store is a great place to get canned foods and other items to donate.
