Creative License International Announces Our St. Mary’s Food Bank Drive!

Collecting Food for Families; Donors Win Gift Certificates

Tempe, Ariz. (Oct. 16, 2012) – Creative License International, an international Commercial Interior Design Firm, launches its first annual can food drive for St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance, on November 1, 2012.

The food drive initiated by the Tempe-based interior design firm will run from November 1st, 2012 through December 15, 2012 during regular office business hours Monday – Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Non- perishable food items including canned food, tuna, beans, canned fruit and canned vegetables as well as cash donations will be accepted at the office location, located at: 5025 S. Ash Avenue, Tempe, Ariz. 85282.

Each donor giving more than five canned food items will be entered into a weekly drawing for a gift certificate to a local hangout.

Weekly drawings will offer one certificate to one donor each Friday during the food drive campaign. Winner will be announced on the company’s Facebook page and contacted directly.

This holiday season, St. Mary’s has reported a critical demand for food, after peanut-butter recalls forced the food bank to discard unused peanut-butter and Congress’ postponement of the Farm Bill, food bank storage has been cited as 25-30% below necessity, though demand from families remains substantial.

“We hope to have a great response from our vendors and the local community, so together, we can help those in need this holiday season,” said Claudia Gerster, Principal of Creative License.

For questions about donations or about the food drive, please call Juanita Griffith, Studio Coordinator of Creative License International at 480-777-3687.
