    FREE(ing) the NEED 's Interests
GeneralWE BELIEVE:

There are enough resources available for all of us to have everything that we need and want.

We all have surplus of something in our lives - food, clothing, furniture, shelter, money, time, and love.

By giving away our surplus to those in need, we receive more toward our own happiness and fulfillment.

What Volunteers say:

"It's fun to see the surplus food that is available given away to families who need it the most"

"Food Day is a lot of fun, something I look forward to all week."

"I feel so good after I volunteer at food day, gives me a new perspective on life."

What Recipients say:

"Without my food box, there would be no ends to meet"

"She's so excited because this is her first pair of new jeans" ~ Mother of a 10 year old girl.

Thanks to you guys, it's going to be a Thanksgiving to be thankful for."

"Sometimes there is more in my food box than I can use. When I told one of the volunteers they said for me to give it to a neighbor or someone I knew who could use it. I felt like I was rich!"

This is what FREE the NEED is all about:

By giving people the basic necessities that they need to live, they will eventually feel like they have enough. When they experience their own surplus to giveaway, we know we have succeeded.

MusicFREE the NEED raises funds for their programs in part by throwing parties. We are always on the look out for musicians who would like to volunteer their time and their talent by bringing some fun to the party. Message us if you are interested. Be sure to check out theMundaze who frequently and enthusiastically play to raise money for FREE the NEED.

About me:
FREE the NEED is a community based all-volunteer nonprofit corporation dedicated to the distribution of surplus food and clothing to families in need in both San Francisco, Oakland and Siskiyou County. We began operations in June of 1989 with a group of friends who were interested in improving the welfare of others in their area.

In San Francisco you can volunteer at food day, helping to pack donated surplus food into boxes and hand them out in the Mission District. We also hold monthly $1.00 clothing sales to raise money to support our programs.

In Siskiyou County we hold a bi-monthly food program and are currently grant writing to expand our Back-to-School Giveaway and purchase a new (used) vehicle. If you are interested in finding out more, or donating your surplus time, money or love, please message us.

You can also visit the FREE the NEED Website.

5 Simple Easy ways EVERYONE can Save $$$$ and Energy!

1. Use compact florescent bulbs – they last 10,000 hrs compared to 800!

2. Turn your computers and monitors OFF at night.

3. Plug your Stereo, VHS/Player and TV etc. into a power strip and turn it OFF when not in use.

4. Wash your clothes in cold water. They last longer too!

5. 3 squares of T.P. is plenty for #1 folks - try it!
