MY1043 the United Way of Gratiot and Isabella Counties and all of their amazing volunteers, I-Ride of Isabella County, Sowle Mayflower, and Rics Food Center want to send sincere THANK YOUs to every single one of you for doing your part in this years “Fill A Mayflower” Event at Rics Food Center!
Non-perishable food items & cash, Rics Hi Five Turkey Drive donations and so much more were collected on Friday 11/20 outside of Rics Food Center on Mission & High; to benefit locals who otherwise would go hungry this holiday season.
It’s because of your generosity, My1043/WMMI-radio and you, were able to do sooo much again this year. We collected over $9,130 in cash and over 7,730 food items! Making 2020 a record year (last year we collected approx.. 7000 food items & about $6,900 in cash)! We truly live in a richly giving community & are so honored to call Mt. Pleasant, home!
Winner of our 2nd Annual CORPORATE CHARITY CHALLENGE Trophy (courtesy of JNR Engraving) went to Mid Michigan Health for bringing over 3,100 canned goods & cash to the party.
If you feel led to continue your generosity, you can still text the word MAYFLOWER to 4-1-4-4-4 to make your monetary donations, now!
Area food pantries were so honored & grateful to the generosity & love from our community – they’ll be sharing those thoughts & actions with those they help serve this holiday season.
Special thank you to our hourly sponsors, who truly know what it’s like to serve “our community” – by giving of their time, their business & donations!
To I-Ride of Isabella County for partenering with our community event once again, collecting food from area residents and bringing them by the event.
To MT PLEASANT RENTAL CENTER for allowing us to use your big yellow sign to promote what was going on & how to donate (along with our good friend Carol Moody) for the amazing signs pointing people to our event.
To our countless volunteers, who gave of their time & efforts: we are truly humbled & grateful to each and every one of you for braving the elements and staying Covid compliant with this years drive.
