"STAMP OUT HUNGER"
*FOOD DRIVE*


Join the mail carriers in Plymouth and Terryville as they work to end hunger in our community.  This year's event will be held on Saturday, May 12th.  

Here's how it works:
Put food donations out next to your mailbox on Saturday morning and the mail carriers will bring the food to the Plymouth Community Food Pantry. 

It's that simple.

Be a part of the food pantry…  

     We are looking for 10 people who would like to donate a few hours per month to the food pantry by helping to organize our annual fundraiser.   You can help us to meet our goal and help end hunger in our community.   It’s a fun way to contribute without spending any money; and by giving just a minimal amount of time you can make a real difference to over 600 people in Plymouth and Terryville who use the food pantry.

     Choose to work on one or more of the following activities:

·         Volunteers can add their creativity and knowledge to make this year’s event the best yet.

·         Volunteers will meet one evening per month for one hour to plan and execute event activities.

·         Volunteers can work from home for just a couple of hours each month to help us meet our goal of raising $10,000 for the food pantry.

·         Volunteers can offer input on the theme of the event; including decoration, food and drink selection, music selection and overall design.

·         Volunteers can call or visit past supporters to invite them to advertise in our program booklet.

·         Volunteers can call or visit past donors and new donors to request donations for our silent auction.

·         Volunteers can sell tickets to friends, family and organizations they belong to.

·         Volunteers can help decorate/set up for the event.

·         Volunteers can help put together silent auction baskets


   Help us meet our goal: Let’s create a group of 10 people to put on this year’s Harvest Ball. 

If you are unable to help, please ask a friend to help in your place because many hands make light work.
