OUR FAVORITE QUOTE
The motto for our annual event was made famous by the very talented Carol Burnett. I grew up watching Carol Burnett on television and always thought of her as kind, genuine, caring, and funny. These are all qualities I strive to emulate in every aspect of my life. When Ron and I first began this food drive it was a spontaneous moment of taking time to reflect on the multitude of blessings in our lives. All of you are a blessing. Your generous participation for our Eighth Annual Mahler Family Food Drive met goals beyond our wildest expectations! One of the reasons it took so long to get the letter out this year is because the donation just kept coming in! As the very talented lady said,
“I think we're here for each other.”
Carol Burnett quotes (
American comedian, actress, singer and dancer, b.1936)
Thanks for being there year after year for us in our goal to help others.

Why Do A Food Drive?
A few years back we were getting ready to celebrate my birthday and I had a moment of clarity about my life. I realized how fortunate I am to have my family and friends, and a relatively comfortable life. Although we work hard to have that, ultimately we are very blessed. By involving YOU, our goal in continuing this Food Drive every year is to "give back." I remember a concept a few years back called "Paying It Forward." Maybe you could say we are paying it forward or paying it back. Whatever you call it, when you have something you can share, we believe you should. Thank you for helping us "Work to End Hunger." – Teri & Family
