3rd Annual Goodtimes For Gleaners!

It's FINALLY here!!!

Mark your calendars: Thursday, Nov. 17th @ 8PM

It's time to kick social-philanthropy into hi-gear for the 3rd Annual Goodtimes For Gleaners Food Drive to benefit Gleaners Community Food Bank of Michigan! Every year you awesome do-gooders have lined-up at BlackFinn in Royal Oak to donate nonperishable food items and throw one heck of party to celebrate! In prior years we've had lines wrapping around the block and donations feeding thousands of families; this year will be even better!

This year BlackFinn is really stepping-up to throw one heck of a party and help take a bite out of hunger in Michigan:

Bring 3 nonperishable food items, get $3-you-call-its for 3 hours

You read that right. We call it the triple-threat.

We'll have great drinks, room in the back with it's own bar and free appetizers from 9-11PM. All you have to do is show up!

Gleaners Community Food Bank is an amazing organization that serves those coping with hunger, and that need has continued to grow as the economy remains sluggish. By leveraging local networks of farmers and grocers, Gleaners is able to convert every $1 donated into 3 meals, with $0.97 of every $1 donated going directly to food programs! Now those are results!

Join us for what will be a great time for a greater cause, celebrate with friends and ensure everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

The Social Philanthropists Foundation (SPF) is an Michigan-based nonprofit that leverages social-resources to benefit other organizations within our communities, more can be found at www.the-spf.org
