Thank you Best Choice!

I know a lot of people who save box tops and UPCs for their schools, but hadn't considered doing it myself since my little guy is only 9 months old. One of our new case managers here at Hillcrest informed me yesterday, however, that Best Choice has a program that will benefit any non-profit group!

The Save-A-Label program offers $.03 per UPC saved from Best Choice foods to any non-profit who wants to participate. The requirements are that you have to send in at least 1000 ($30 worth) at a time, and they expire after a year, so you've gotta be able to save those up quickly. I think it would be difficult for most families to save up 1000 upcs by themselves, but in a group it wouldn't be so bad. The case manager I mentioned "dumpster dives" in her neighbor's recycle bins for hers (yes, they give her permission)!!!

I am going to begin collecting them on behalf of our branch of Hillcrest Ministries and see how it goes. You should consider contacting your favorite non-profit to find out if anyone is collecting them and maybe organize a collection if not. And of course, if you are looking for somewhere to send yours and want to help us out, leave a comment or shoot me an email at eatfromyourpantry (at) gmail (dot) com!!
