2008 - DAYS OF CARING
August & September
In the past the Day of Caring projects were designed to
mobilize volunteers to participate in various project with
many different agencies over a two week period in September.
This years program is going to be different. This year we
are looking to mobilize the caring power of the community to
gather food and personal items to stock pantries.
The reasoning? With oil soaring to over $135 dollars a
barrel, gasoline prices at or over $4.00 a gallon we are
seeing trends that concerns us for this upcoming winter. It
is not just the cost of these things but the effect that it
is having on all consumer goods.
We are
partnering with the following pantries to make sure that no
matter were people live they will have accept to these
materials.
-
Salvation
Army
-
PRAC: Puerto
Rican Action Committee
-
Catholic
Charities
-
Pennsville
Visiting Nurse
-
Peter’s
Pantry
-
Disciple's
Pantry: Housed at Asbury Methodist Church
By having a county-wide drive
to collect food, household and personal items for this years
Day of Caring project we hope to collect enough supplies so
that the pantries (listed above) can provide these materials
to our high risk families during this winter.
MORE INFORMATION TO COME!
