The 2012 Tour De Franklin
Is A Record-Breaking Success!
Franklin Township Food Bank supporters rock! Thanks and kudos to each and every one of you who walked, rode, or volunteered at the 23rd Annual Tour De Franklin. Your efforts allowed us to exceed even last year's record-setting Tour with 568 participants (403 in 2011) joining our generous sponsors to raise over $44,000 for the Food Bank ($41,000 in 2011). Even Mother Nature lent a hand by providing beautiful weather for the day. A terrific time was had by all with food and prizes and sunshine galore. We hope you will all join us again next year to help the Franklin Township Food Bank continue its mission of supporting our neighbors in need. And our sincere thanks again for your amazing support.
Why are these guys so happy? They just had
a great ride while raising money for the FTFB!
Local Farmers Continue
Stalwart Support of Food Bank
Area farmers have stepped up and donated more fresh produce than ever before, helping us not only to meet the increasing demand for the Franklin Township Food Bank's services, but also by improving the nutritional value of what we provide to local families in need. Recently, FTFB Executive Director Frank Hasner spoke to a gathering of these farmers, which was generously hosted by The Corner Deli, located at the corner of Amwell Road and Demott Lane. Mr. Hasner thanked these local small agri-business men and women for their tremendous donations, and re-emphasized how valuable these donations are to the Food Bank's clients. If you happen to know or to meet one of our local farmers, be sure to thank them for us!
