π **Calling All Neighbors!** π
We're banding together for our Annual Neighborhood Food Drive to support the North End Food Pantryβa beacon of hope for many in our community. Last year, the pantry provided essential items to those in need for over 6,000 visits! With your help, we can continue to provide needed support for our fellow community members!
ποΈ How to Participate:
1. If you live on Green Acres Drive, Loaldo Drive, Cottage Grove, Tracy Drive, Grey Meadow Drive, or W Road, look out for a bag and a list of suggested donation items, which will be distributed to the homes on these streets on August 17th, 2024. (Let us know if you need more than one bag, or feel free to use a reusable one!)
2. Fill the bag with much-needed items such as canned proteins, baking supplies, shelf stable foods, baby items, or unopened toiletries.
3. Leave the filled bag outside your home where our volunteers will collect it, or drop it off at the North End Food Pantry in the basement of the Queen City Lodge Oddfellows Hall at 1416 North Avenue between 10 and 12 am on August 24th.
π Why It Matters:
The North End Food Pantry is more than just a food pantry; it's a place that offers dignity and support to those in need, no questions asked. Your donations directly impact lives, providing not just food but also clothing, personal, and infant care items.
