The Bargain Basket patrons receive 10% off purchases when they bring in food.
On August 17th, National Thrift Shop Day, The Bargain Basket will give patrons 10% off their purchase when they bring in food for Our Daily Bread Food Pantry. Additionally, the thrift shop will donate 10% of the day's proceeds to the pantry.
“The needs of the community do not disappear when the busy season ends. This is a great opportunity to collect and fundraise during a time when Our Daily Bread Food Pantry is not getting as many donations as we receive in seasonal months," shared Samantha Arago Kopren, Director of Operations, United Church of Marco Island, Bargain Basket Thrift Store.
Items needed include (but are not limited to): 16 oz. peanut butter, cereal, spaghetti, 15 oz. tomato product and canned vegetables and canned tuna fish. Large containers are not needed as the pantry is able to pack more bags with smaller containers.
The pantry currently serves on average more than 1,000 families each week.
“Our Daily Bread Food Pantry is an important community resource. We provide food, hope, and encouragement to our neighbors in need. We are very grateful to the Bargain Basket, United Church of Marco Island for their investment in our work, and for joining us to support our community," stated Evelyn Rossetti-Ryan, Executive Director of Our Daily Bread Food Pantry.
Located at 750 Bald Eagle Drive, The Bargain Basket is open 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on August 17.
