The Merchandiser held their company picnic recently, and collected food for us, too. A nice variety of items and a new friend to have in the community. Thank you for your support!
We picked up food from Women Who Care Ministries today... as always, a pleasure to see Executive Director Judith Clark. Lots of nice food, especially all that mac & cheese! Thanks, Judith!
Germantown HELP is seeking to expand by bringing food to pick-up sites and having it picked up by clients, rather than delivering all of it. Of course, we will still deliver to as many people as we can, and always to people who are unable to get to a pickup location. However, having pickups will increase the amount of food we can distribute to our neighbors requesting help. Clients will have to call to request food at a pickup, so we have a package available for them; we can't serve walk-ups.
Trinity United Methodist Church, a longtime sponsor and friend of Germantown HELP, has offered us the use of the front hall to conduct our first "pilot" pickup (we're kind of putting this together as we go along). We appreciate their support very much! We will need volunteers on the first Monday of the month, probably from 6:00-8:00pm, to pack bags, hang out for a couple hours and wait for people to come pick up. Can you help? If so, please email info@germantownhelp.org.
As always, best wishes and thanks for your interest!
