Ford, BBGC team up to fight child hunger

BREWESTER – Ford Motor Company and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Washington State are teaming up once again with the Ford Focus on child Hunger campaign.
Brewster Boys and Girls Club Director Brian Paine said the club received $1,000 from Ford that is being applied to help feed needy families in the Brewster-Pateros area. Jess Ford is the local dealer working with BBGC in this area.
Paine is working with school district personnel to identify those needy families as the food collection campaign takes place from Mon. Nov. 13 though Friday, Nov. 17.
Once the food is collected at the BBGC building, Monday, Nov. 20 will be set aside for volunteers to put together food boxes from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students, clubs, volunteers and all others interested in helping are invited to stop by the BBGC during that time to lend a hand.
Boxes will be delivered either Monday afternoon or Tuesday, Nov. 21, and arrangements will also be made for families who want to pick up boxes at BBGC headquarters.
Those wishing to make cash or check donations may make checks payable to the Brewster Boys & Girls Club. A tax identification number for charitable donations will be available.
