Thank you to Sterling Home Cleaners for making our floors like new again. 

We were approached by Sterling because they wanted to help out nonprofits in the area that may not have the resources available to pay for deep cleaning.  We have a lot of traffic throughout our pantry as well as our waiting room, so we were very excited to accept their generous offer! 

Sterling Home Cleaning can be reached at 419.245.5388‎.  With experience since 1996, Steve and his crew service businesses and homes throughout the Toledo area.  They specialize in residential cleaning, carpet, furniture, walls and floors. 

We greatly appreciate the wonderful job they did for us and highly recommend them to anyone else looking for similar services!

Empty out those piggy banks!  Join us in supporting Food For Thought by participating in Penny Wars and collecting coins for a cause.  We tried it in November when we discovered that Michigan fans are much more generous than Ohio State fans.  Let’s see which Super Bowl team will win this time. 

It’s healthy competition to help our brothers and sisters in need.

 
 
The concept is very simple:

You can compete as individuals or teams.
Collect pennies (or nickels, dimes, quarters, Susan B. Anthony’s) in decorated containers.
The contest can last as long as you like – one day to one month.
At the end of the contest, whoever collects the most money wins.

There is one catch–Participants can deposit paper money into the opposing team’s container which negates the corresponding coins in that jar.  In other words, if I put one dollar into team A’s container, one dollar is subtracted from their coinage total.

When we had the OSU/UM penny wars at my office, the dollar bills were flying as competitors were trying to take down their opponent’s totals. 

Sounds like fun, huh?

If you’re interested, join us by sending an e-mail, and let us know about your participation.  Take lots of pictures and e-mail them to us for inclusion on our Facebook  page.

Here’s a handy flyer to distribute to all your family and friends to initiate their own penny wars program.

May the best team win!
