Food Drives
Thanksgiving Food Drive - 2007Four great ways to help feed 70 local families in need...1) Donate Canned Goods... From Nov 1st-18th, consider donating canned goods and Thanksgiving-appropriate non-perishable items to the collection bins located around the Newman Center. Proceeds will be used to fill 70 gift baskets for local families in need.2) Donate money for turkey-coins... Each family's Thanksgiving basket will contain a 'turkey coin' which will defray the cost of their Thanksgiving Turkey. Your contribution will assist the Newman Student Association in purchasing these coins. At least $700.00 is needed for just this aspect of the drive alone. Checks are payable to the Newman Catholic Center/TFD. Donations may be dropped/sent to the Newman Student's Office or the Newman Student Association mailbox in the main office.3) Help Sort & Deliver on "Action Day" Gather in the Newman Cafeteria at 11:30am on "Action Day" - Sunday, November 18th, 2007. At that time, the food will be sorted into 'baskets,' and delivery routes will be formed. Teams will be assembled and door-to-door delivery will take place. Drivers are needed. Return to Newman around 5:30pm. If you have questions, or are willing to help, contact Peter: pdoherty@student.umass.edu4) Pray for all involved... Consider those less fortunate than yourself, and those who step forward to serve in God's name. Whether you can assist or contribute, your prayers are very appreciated for the good of all!
