Ours are discounted up to 60 percent off retail.” Prices start at just $399. Ann owns the shop with her brother, Bob Campeau; GARNET + grace is the fourth store they’ve opened together. Back in 2009, Ann was a new bride, shopping around for her own wedding dress. Everywhere she turned, she was met with deep frustration. No dress seemed to fit. Reason being, none of the wedding shops carried any dresses for plus-size brides to try on. Ann’s frustration, coupled with her desire to help others with the same need, planted the seed for a new business idea. Leaving behind their corporate jobs, Ann and Bob teamed up to create a bridal shop specializing in plus-size dresses. That shop became a reality in 2010, and was first opened in Phoenix, Arizona. They’ve since relocated to Tempe, Arizona, to a bigger space.

The Salvation Army Hayward is participating in America’s largest one-day food drive which raises awareness about the problem of hunger in every community. The 26th annual Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive will take place on Saturday, May 12, 2018. Castro Valley and Hayward residents can leave a bag of non-perishable groceries by their mailbox for collection by their carriers. Donations stay local, benefitting food banks, pantries and hungry families in your community. Recommended non-perishables include cereal, pasta, pasta sauce or spaghetti sauce, rice, canned fruits and vegetables, canned meals (such as soups, chili and pasta), 100% juice, peanut butter, macaroni & cheese, canned protein (tuna, chicken and turkey), beans (canned or dry). Pet food, toiletries and other personal care items (diapers, laundry detergent, soap, toilet paper and household cleaning items) may also be donated. Some food banks can direct them to organizations that serve clients with such needs. The Food Drive cannot accept frozen food, homemade food, home-canned items, food in glass jars or items that are opened, damaged, expired or missing the official ingredients. Single-item donations of baby food products (including formula, jarred vegetables and fruits, meals, snacks, infant cereal) will be discarded because of potential contamination risks and need for special handling. Baby food may be donated by the case or pallet. If your donation is not collected or you miss your letter carrier, visit The Salvation Army Hayward Corps, 430 A St., Hayward, where we will gratefully accept it in person, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Need community service hours? Contact Captain Kyna Kelley at (510) 581-6444 or email [email protected] to volunteer to sort donations from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on May 12. For more details, visit www.nalc.org/food. Thank you for your support.
