A unique way of collecting food
​Food drives happen everywhere and some calls for food for the local food banks do not come with live entertainment. They are just calls to bring in some cans of food or other non-perishable food items to a central location and that is it.  In Simonton Lake, their food drives are connected to a variety of events. For example one of their Fall Balls required 4 cans of food or non-perishable food items to gain entry.  It is a unique way to go about providing food for those who have to struggle. Plus, you get some solid entertainment and fun out of being charitable.

Who sponsors the food drives?
The Simonton Lake Vacation Rentals are a very big supporter of the local food banks. They are very active in holding a variety of events for the whole family and then donating the proceeds to the local food bank.  It is a great way to give back to the community as well as provide for those less fortunate. One of their fun-filled family events is their annual garage sale. People from the community bring those items they do not want anymore and create a large garage sale event.  Not only is it fun for everyone involved, but the local food bank benefits from the proceeds. It is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon while doing something for those who are in need.  Plus, it is a great way to spend some quality time with your family. All family members should be able to find something they like to take home. There are plenty of sellers with a wide range of products on sale.  When you are on vacation, this is a great way to fill your leisure time and do some good at the same time.
Getting into the spirit of things
This is what Simonton Lake Vacation Rentals does every year. They do not wait for the holidays to be in a giving or sharing mood. The owners of this company hold their garage Sale at least once a year to ensure that the local food banks have plenty of food on their shelves.  The spirit of the holidays does not have to end on January 2nd and can be applied all year round. It is a great way to not only feel good but have a great time doing it.

A fun time for all involved
​Simonton Lake’s trunk or treat is a popular affair. Parents and children in the area get to have a little fun as treats are available for the kids and other activities for adults are waiting to be enjoyed.  While not originating in Simonton Lake, this annual event puts a lot more fun back into Halloween and reduces the number of tricks played on others. It is a safe activity for children and parents can have their families participate without worry.  The original trunk or treat celebration originated at Hilldale Baptist Church of Center Point in Alabama in 1994. From there the idea spread around the nation till many more communities organized similar safe and fun events.
