Thanks to Messiah Lutheran Church, the Boys and Girls Club (Germantown) and Ronald McNair Elementary School (seen above) for collecting food for Germantown HELP! And thanks to Sarah Burkholder, Judy Brodbeck and Toni Woods for bringing it in...
We will be moving some of our food storage to a trailer at Greenridge Baptist church next week; we had hoped to move the food in our storage unit (aka, "The Auxiliary Food Storage Facility") before the end of January, but between the weather, end-of-the-year stuff, the CFC application and student exams (we rely on student power for the big moves!), it took longer than we thought. We hope to move food over next week and start sorting it.
Our first delivery to our HOC partner went very well yesterday, thanks to Yuen Lee, who stepped in at the last minute to help. 17 households signed up for a delivery to their community center yesterday at 5:00pm - we pulled in at 4:58 - couldn't have done it without you, Yuen! Fortunately, the kids in the after-school homework program ran out to help us carry it all in, great kids!! 17 households was pretty good, considering it was the first time we tried it and our maximum is 20. We will be sorting food and delivering it there the fourth Tuesday of every month.
