Great Ways to Donate for Free or Pocket Change at: Publix Starting 1/13

Sorry for the lack of posts the past few days! We definitely got the winter weather here in Atlanta that others had warned us about and we are on day 3 of being stuck at my mom and dad's house..unable to drive anywhere! Not that I am complaining! This is the absolute best place to be in a winter storm. In fact, we have joked around that it's like a free trip to Colorado with our very own lodge. We have had a blast sledding on their 7 acres and have enjoyed every minute. The only bummer is that because of the weather, my local Publix has not received its regular truck deliveries. Right now, just about any store you visit locally is out of milk, bread, and other essentials. I haven't seen anything like it! Because of this, our weekly order that we place for the food banks had to be cancelled. I was so excited about the 40 jars of peanut butter and 40 packs of muffin mix that we were going to deliver. But..it's in God's hands and Mother Nature is out of our control! But..look at all of the things we (and you!) can donate starting tomorrow at Publix!

**Note: Several items that I list on the blog to donate are frozen or cold items. It's best to double check before dropping items off yourself to a local food bank or homeless shelter that they accept cold/frozen items. If you are in the Gwinnett County area, The Quinn House and Southeast Gwinnett Co-op in Grayson both do.
