Blue Water Feed The World Project Looking For Volunteers And Donations

Feeding the hungry, and helping the less fortunate is something that we can all be a part of. If you don’t have the finances to donate to a good cause, many organizations would greatly appreciate your time.

The Blue Water Feed The World Project is a nonprofit organization that helps deliver food to those less fortunate, not only in the local community but across the world as well. On Saturday, January 14th, volunteers will be at Colonial Woods Missionary Church in Port Huron packing and preparing food to be delivered to local food pantries. A portion of the packaged meals will also be shipped to Haiti, Poland, Romania, Texas, and Florida. 

The project is still in need of monetary donations, with the goal of raising $30,000 to pack 100,000 meals during the course of the event. 

If you would like to make a monetary donation or volunteer in helping package and prepare meals, visit: KCAH.Info.

The Salvation Army Angel Tree: 150 Children Need Adopting

The Salvation Army has been supporting those in need since 1865. Each season at Christmas you may see them ringing the bell outside of your favorite local store collecting donations to provide a good Christmas for little boys and girls in the community.

The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree, located at Birchwood Mall in Port Huron, still has approximately 150 boys and girls that need toys for Christmas. If you would like to adopt an “angel” this Christmas you can go to the Birchwood Mall and select a name or multiple names from the angel tree to shop for. After you purchase your gift, you can then drop off your purchase at The Salvation Army located at 2000 Court Street in Port Huron. 

With only two days left for the angel tree deadline, and five days until Christmas, make sure you don’t delay, and adopt an angel today.
