Ponte
Winery continues canned food drive because of success
TEMECULA,
CA -- Ponte Winery invites the community
to participate in its first-ever Canned Food Drive.
Started back in January, the winery chose to hold this event
at the beginning of the year for a specific reason. Ponte Winery's
Direct Sales and Marketing Manager, Ragan Erickson, explains,
"After the holidays, food pantries often undergo a shortage
of canned goods. We thought we could help them re-stock their
shelves by hosting a food drive during the months of January
and February. The efforts were so successful that we have chosen
to continue the program for several more months. By making our
winery a drop-off site, everybody wins: guests can enjoy wine
tasting, do a little shopping and have a great meal all the
while helping a family in need have a good meal of their own."
As
a "thank you," Ponte Winery is offering those who
bring in 5 or more cans of food 10% off in the Tasting Room
(good on wine tasting or items in the Marketplace) and 5% off
at the Smokehouse Restaurant. Ponte wine club members will receive
30% off in the Tasting Room and 15% off at the Smokehouse. "With
so many people out of work in these tough economic times, it's
more important than ever before to give all the help we can,"
explains owner Claudio Ponte. It is the perfect time to clean
out your over-filled pantries because the winery is accepting
it all-canned fruit and vegetables, soups and tuna fish, cereals
and oatmeal, crackers and cookies (because everyone deserves
a little something sweet). The gift of good will never goes
out of style.
All
non-perishable canned food items will be delivered to the Temecula
Community Pantry. For more information about the pantry
please visit www.temeculapantry.org
or call their office at 951-676-8022.
Ponte
Winery's Canned Food Drive is taking place now through April
30th. Drop-offs can be made 7 days a week, from 10 am to 5 pm
in the Ponte Tasting Room. For more information, please call
