FDP, Food Elves Team Up for the '12 Days of Donating'

The Franklin Downtown Partnership is once again teaming up with the Franklin Foods Elves for the "12 Days of Donating" Campaign to support the Franklin Food Pantry.

 

The "Food Elves," which is a student run organization, will collect food donations the first 12 days of December for the Food Pantry.  We are looking for 10 businesses that will agree to have a food donation bin placed at their business location for this time period for residents to drop by and donate food.  In addition, each business will agree to donate $200 to the Food Pantry for the campaign. 

Last year the Food Elves collected 2 Tons of food! It was one of the most successful food drives ever in Franklin!

Let us know if you would like to be one of the participating businesses so we can list your business in the press release and on the Holiday Stroll flyers.  The deadline is next week so let us know soon.  The $200 is not collected until December 12th. 

Please contact the office at Downtown.Franklin@yahoo.com or (774) 571-3109. 

 

Thanks for your interest....
