Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Postal Workers Annual Food Drive is almost here again! It will be held
Saturday, May 8, 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 10:00 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’ll 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 emailing 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 8th!
