10/29/12 - Tyrone Township will once again hold an annual food collection event for Gleaners Community Food Bank featuring Santa Claus this December. The event has been held the last two years to collect canned goods, nonperishable items, and monetary donations for Gleaners and the Livingston Pet Pantry. Supervisor Mike Cunningham tells WHMI that the event not only provides food for the needy, but also creates an uncommon opportunity for children in a rural community to come out and meet Santa without leaving the area. The Santa food collection event has collected about 1,400 meals for Gleaners in the past two years. This yearâs event will take place on December 1st from about 1:00 to 2:30 in the afternoon. Cunningham says no registration will be necessary, and encourages people to bring their children and pets for photos. Donations will be accepted in the form of canned goods, nonperishable items, and monetary contributions. Call (810) 629-8631 for details. (TD)
