Think of giving next week.

This coming week the Smyrna fire department is having a holiday food drive. A time to give to someone you most likely will never see.

The Smyrna/LaVergne food bank supplies are running low for this holiday season. Last year they were able to provide over 8,000 meals to families needing just a little helpful hand. This has really depleted their supplies and we want to make sure that no one gets turned away. The Smyrna fire department has teamed up with local schools to try and make sure that no family goes without this holiday season, but we can not do it alone. We need your help to ensure that there is enough for everyone in need. Please bring any non-perishable food item, baby food items, baby diapers, and personal hygiene items to anyone at the 5 Smyrna fire stations. While you're there ask for a tour of the station or even sit in one of the fire trucks. We will begin receiving goods on Monday, November 12, 2007 and continue through Sunday, November 18, 2007. With your help we can make this a happy holiday season for those less fortunate in Northern Rutherford county.

I know from my childhood how much an anonymous box of food on the porch can make a holiday a lot better, so this is truly a worthy cause to think of giving to.
