Day of Action
9/10/2009-9/11/2009
What’s your role?
Calls for assistance with one of our most basic needs, food, is up a staggering 65% over this time last year according to United Way’s 2-1-1 referral line. Even worse, many of these callers have never had to ask for help before. That’s why this volunteer opportunity is all about helping our friends and neighbors who are hungry!
There are three easy ways to help:
COMMUNITY RALLY & VOLUNTEER EVENT
Join us as we kick off our 2009 campaign season AND our September Day of Action. We’ll have breakfast and live music, hear from our 2009 Campaign Chair, Gregg Morton, and get started on sorting and loading canned foods for our Day of Action.
