In this week's East section, I wrote about the Montgomery Area Food Bank. Holidays bring out a lot of giving from people, and the food bank benefits from your generosity. Whether it's a canned food drive or responding to their mailers with a donation, without contributions the food bank would suffer greatly.

Each year, one of the biggest events for the food bank is 12's Day of Giving. WSFA, Cumulus Broadcasting and Dixie Electric Cooperative get together and throw a day long fundraiser/ food drive at the Wal Mart on Atlanta Highway. It will take place November 30 and run from about 6 a.m. for twelve hours. You can drop off non-perishable food items or make financial contributions in any amount without leaving your car.

You'll hear more about 12's Day of Giving as the day draws nearer, and it's a wonderful way to give back to the community.
