A Special Something For a Special Someone

The Great Valentine's Day Gift Hunt

By Jeremy Swiger

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, causing men in relationships everywhere to begin to sweat. What do you get the woman you love that has everything, or worse yet, has uttered the words "surprise me." There are a variety of ways to bring a smile to that special someone's face, and the York County Food Bank is here to help.

 

In a recent issue of Women's Health Magazine, subscribers were polled to see what they were most hoping to see for Valentines Day from their significant other. The number one response, overwhelmingly, was dinner. It's amazing how we sometimes take something so simple for granted, but sometimes the greatest treat is to get out of having to cook and do the dishes at the end of the meal. How can the York County Food Bank help, you ask? The York County Food Bank offers Giant Gift Cards for sale that allow you to purchase other gift cards for the restaurant of your choice. Your sweet heart's favorite restaurant isn't available as a gift card? You can always use your gift card for a prepaid visa card, accepted at most restaurants everywhere. Not sure if you have the money for Le Fanci Restaurante? Surprise them by making them a wonderful dinner, complete with candles and flowers, and, or course, by doing the dishes after the meal. Giant Food Stores will have everything you need for a wonderful meal.

Not sure if dinner is the direction you want to go? Eyeing that special gift online? Visit www.goodsearch.com, and click on the shopping tab. There are plenty of deals for your favorite online venders, and a portion of your purchase automatically goes to the York County Food Bank. So you can save some money, and make a donation, just by going through your normal activities. You can find something sparkling for the diamond in your life.

Either way, there are plenty of great things you can do for that special someone, and you can help your community in the process! For more information email us at jeremys@yorkfoodbank.org
