West Metro Supply Drive
Join Little Charity Book Truck this weekend for a West Metro supply drive for Bountiful Basket Food Shelf!
Our Twin Cities businesses and bookstores have been such an inspiration and we want to help meet the moment. We understand that not everyone is able to get out to Minneapolis but want to do their part and support our local community. Also, while Minneapolis has been the most targeted by ICE, there are operations taking place daily in the suburbs too. Let's come together as a community to gather food, supplies, and essentials for people who are feeling targeted by these operations.
What can you do? Stop by CARspec in Eden Prairie this Saturday or Sunday, February 7 & 8 10AM-4PM. We will collect and deliver all donations to Bountiful Basket at the end of the drive. We are collecting all non-perishables and essentials, but slide 2 lists the organization's current *greatest needs*.
Anyone who donates will receive 15% off a future book truck purchase. We will also have our new totes and key rings for sale, with 100% of proceeds going to Bountiful Basket (Venmo payments and cash only).
