You don't have to work very hard to persuade me to give to food banks. And this is more than enough persuasion! From the April 2, 2009 Idaho Press-Tribune:
I guess I'll have to stop in with a few cans of food!NAMPA — A local gun shop has collected more than three tons of food for the Lighthouse Rescue Mission in exchange for raffle tickets to win an AR-15 rifle and 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
And get this: You could still be the winner of the package that retails for more than $2,000.
Roberta Regnier, owner of Alpha Omega Services "Armageddon Armory" in Nampa, said business has been good, and she wanted to share the blessing.
Tickets are available for two nonperishable food items until the winner is selected at an in-store drawing April 15 — tax day.
"We were just trying to find a way to kind of help the community out, and try to help people remember (those in need) need food all the time, not just around the holiday," Regnier said. "It's not just the needy people. It's everyday people who are now finding themselves out of work and out of their homes."
