Since they buy in bulk and know what foods they need, this is the best way to stretch your donation dollar. You can also just donate a specific amount of money and not choose any specific foods. To make sure that our Food Drive gets credit, please do the following: Select "Community Group" under Organization Type Select "Severns-Pease Christmas Display" under Organization Name.
