San Jose, CA (PRWEB) December 19, 2011

?Tis the season of giving, and San Jose medical marijuana dispensary MedMar Healing Center is giving back to the community with a food drive to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank. From October 1st through January 20th, MedMar is joining together with other San Jose cannabis collectives to collect money and cans of food to help Second Harvest provide nutritious meals to local families in need.

?This holiday season, many families are having a hard time making ends meet. It is MedMar?s hope that we can help make this holiday season amazing for every family, even in these hard economic times,? says Douglas Chloupek, founder of MedMar.

Second Harvest Food Bank serves over 240,000 people each month?10% of the people in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties?and distributes over 45 million pounds of food per year, mainly to local seniors and families with dependant children. Since the recession hit in 2007, the number of people served by Second Harvest has skyrocketed 48%, but donations have flatlined over the last two years.

The holiday season, when Second Harvest gets the majority of its donations, will be critical to ensuring the food bank can help hungry members of the community get access to nutritious meals. The food bank?s goal is to raise $ 11.3 million and collect 1.6 million pounds of food.

MedMar members who bring in nonperishable food items will get a $ 1 credit per can donated ($ 10 daily limit). The most-needed items are meals in a can (stew, chili, soup), tuna and canned meat, peanut butter, canned foods with pop-top lids, low-sugar cereals, 100% fruit juices in single-serving boxes, canned fruit packed in juice, and canned vegetables. MedMar is also accepting cash donations that will be passed along to Second Harvest.

For more information about the holiday food drive, or to learn more about any of MedMar Healing Center?s products and services, call (408) 426-4400 or visit the San Jose cannabis club online at http://www.sjmedmar.com. MedMar is located at 170 South Autumn Street, San Jose, CA 95110.

Lori Wilde struck a chord in readers last year with THE FIRST LOVE COOKIE CLUB. Now, just in time for the holiday season, she is revisiting that home-baked goodness with three Avon Impulse novellas, ?The Christmas Cookie Chronicles.?

Wilde has built a strong contingent of fans with her series set in Twilight, TX. Last year, THE FIRST LOVE COOKIE CLUB hit the New York Times bestseller list and was featured in Time magazine. Publishers Weekly has called Wilde?s writing ?as satisfying as a glass of lemonade on a hot day.? Wilde fits right into the small town romance niche that beloved writers such as Kristin Hannah and Susan Wiggs have made so popular. And the three Christmas Cookie Chronicles will be tasty holiday treats for women?s fiction and romance readers.

THE CHRISTMAS COOKIE CHRONICLES: CARRIE features a woman who eloped at 18 with her high school sweetheart, Mark. After a whirlwind wedding in Vegas, the two return home to Twilight, where their parents force them into an annulment. Seven years later, the two lead very different lives, but when they?re thrown together because of Mark?s job, they just might have a second chance at love.

In THE CHRISTMAS COOKIE CHRONICLES: RAYLENE, Wilde doubles up the love stories. After her husband of thirty-five years leaves her for keeping a dark secret, a brokenhearted bar owner, hires a young woman who is down on her luck, only to discover the woman is the daughter that she sold at birth in order to give her husband his start. Can the Christmas season bring the redemption she so desperately seeks and reconnect her to the love of her life? Determined to confront the mother who gave her up 35 years ago, an embittered woman goes incognito as a cocktail waitress at her mother?s bar, only to meet a former Navy SEAL who teaches her the true meaning of Christmas–forgiveness.

A disabled former Olympic hopeful stars in the final novella in the trilogy, THE CHRISTMAS COOKIE CHRONICLES: CHRISTINE. Now a baker, Christine lives a quiet, lonely life until an old high school flame, Dallas, moves back to town. Dallas is now a widower with four children, the oldest of whom resents Christine?s rekindled relationship with her father. It will take all the matchmaking skills of The First Love Cookie Club members and a little Christmas magic for Christine to bridge the gap and touch the heart of the wounded teen who can?t stop grieving the loss of her mother.
