Most of our contributors are departing vacationers, but locals and others give welcomed support.</span> <span style="font-size:130%;">Our collections are passed on to food pantries to feed the needy of Brunswick County, NC.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">It was started in July of 2005, and has spread to other nearby tourist areas where it has served as a model for similar programs.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">100% of all cash donations buy more food. Each year since our beginning, we have been able to buy 5 lbs. of food for each $1 collected. </span><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Our total collections for 2009 were 14,290 lbs., another record year, and 23 % more than 2008's record year of 11,600 lbs.</span><br /><br /></strong><span style="font-size:130%;">For more information, please visit our web site at <strong>www.secondhelping.us.</strong></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6034082361942139522-2438016800157611789?l=funforbill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Our Second Helpinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05015209512610869101noreply@blogger.com1
