We (IEMAS) are hosting our 3rd annual Frags 4 Food event- the canned food drive to help our local community. All of our canned food and proceeds from any donations will once again be given to the Rancho Cucuamonga GAP Food Bank, (www.gapfoodbank.org). Helping support the working poor, single mothers, recovering addicts, seniors on a fixed income, and under-privileged who are struggling to make ends meet.

Please help us once again by donating to our food drive. Again there is no donation too big or small as every little bit helps. Anyone who donates 5 cans of food or more will receive a free frag!

The person of group that donates the most cans will win a grand prize! .​
(Still TBD)

I will swing by the SCRK & SCMAS meetings like last year to collect cans from the clubs- or we are also tossing around the idea of making a collection day at Coral Gazers

If possible everyone should stop by and join us! It is scheduled for April 13th from 11am-6pm at the Tropical Reef Fish store: 11940 Foothill Blvd. Ste. 108, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739. There will be a coral & dry good raffle at 5pm.

Current Donors include-

Tropical Reef Fish Store
Seachem
Marineland
Fantastic Frags
Coral Magazine

If you would like to donate but cannot make it to any club meetings or the event, please let me know-
cylix@iereefs.com

Actually not too bad of an idea. My wife used to run a food ministry for our church. We would get Popeye's to donate 40lb boxes of frozen chicken at a time.

I think cans are prolly easier for IEMAS to deal with. I could prolly talk to the big boss and get her to donate a box of hotdogs. Frozen. Let me know cy. Or a box of frozen hamburgers

SCRK would have won last year... we are stepping it up this year watch out...
well see...i hate losing.

are we doing $.50 a can still? so if i collect or donate $100 that would be 200 can right?

Sounds like a challenge!!
iemas will win it this year
