Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The
Postal Workers Annual Food Drive is almost here again! It will be held
Saturday, May 9, 2009. There will be a combination of food drive
volunteers and postal service workers making the rounds. The Hanover Food Pantry
is in serious need of volunteers on that day again this year. What better
way to support residents of our town in need? Please consider
volunteering at the food pantry! It is also a great way for those who
need service hours to accrue some time for a good cause.
The
good folks at the Hanover Food Pantry need:
*
Drivers and gatherers (beginning as early as 9:00 a.m. or anytime up through
3:00 p.m.) to go out on assigned routes for food pick-up. Take a long
route or a short route, no matter what; your help will be appreciated.
You’l l
be given a map, and you will bring the food you gather back to the pantry.
*
Sorters to be stationed at the pantry from 11:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m., in two
hour shifts. Feel free to stay as long as you like. The food pantry will supply
water, soda, coffee or tea and PB&J sandwiches, along with hard work and a
good time.
Anyone
wishing to volunteer to drive and pick up or sort donations can do so by
e-mailing Sally Lovett Boutin at kidsense@comcast.net
or calling her at 781-826-6485, or on her cell at 781-799-0053.
Remember
that all collected food stocks the shelves of our very own Hanover Food Pantry
for our friends and neighbors in need. The food that is gathered each year at
the Postal Workers Annual Food Drive sees those in need through the summer when
the churches, civic organizations, schools and other groups stop or slow their
regular collections. Your support will be greatly appreciated.
Regardless of your ability to volunteer to help that day, please don’t
forget to donate your food to the town-wide drive on May 9th!
