Bread of Life Food Drive (BOLD)
Tax deductible
Our annual Bread of Life Food Drive will run from Wednesday April 8th through Friday, April 24th.
This food drive will benefit W.H.E.A.T., a food pantry serving the West Haven area.
For those of you unfamiliar with the BOLD drive, it is an effort by local University of Notre Dame alumni club's to provide much needed food for the less fortunate members of our community. Last year, our BOLD drive raised over 3,000 food items that were donated to local food pantries.
We have set our goal at $1,000 in donations over the next two weeks, which is about half of what we traditionally collect. Please consider donating!
Please feel free to share this with anyone who may be interested in helping out. Thank you in advance for everyone who plans on participating this year, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
