I am volunteering at the Market of Choice store on Wednesday, November 26, 2008. I invite you to join my Trio Realty Group team by volunteering for a 2-hour shift.
Loaves & Fishes Centers, The Meals-On-Wheels People, is having a fundraiser prior to Thanksgiving. It is called Donate Dinner and their goal is to recruit more than 1000 volunteers to raise $200,000 to feed our local seniors. It’s an easy way for our community to help those less fortunate while they shop for their Thanksgiving dinner. Last year volunteers raised $186,000.
What do I need you to do? Greet customers as they come into the store to shop for their Thanksgiving dinner. Smile, hand them a Donate Dinner card, and let them know that if they would like to donate to the Meals-On-Wheels program they tell the cashier when they check out. Their grocery receipt will include their tax-deductible nonprofit donation receipt. It is that simple!
Please join my team for a 2-hour shift. Last year, each volunteer raised an average of $225 per shift! All proceeds are invested in our local senior population.
Together, we can make sure that no senior in our community goes hungry or experiences social isolation. Please join me and the more than 1000 other volunteers to raise critical funds to feed our elder population. Click here if you want to view my team’s current schedule.
If you are not available on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 to volunteer for my team, please go to www.donatedinner.org and see if another date and store are available. It takes a village to feed our seniors!
Loaves & Fishes Centers, The Meals-On-Wheels People is a secular nonprofit corporation that prepares 5,000 meals each weekday for seniors in Multnomah, Washington and Clark counties. Unlike most other Meals-On-Wheels programs, our local Loaves & Fishes has never had a waiting list for meal services. Why? Because of the generous community support from volunteers and donors, a meal can be delivered within 24 hours of notification.
Here’s your opportunity to own a newer traditional in the heart of John’s Landing– just minutes from all the benefits this charming community offers. Walk one block to Willamette river parks, busline, shops and restaurants, as well as walking, running and biking trails. Very close to OHSU, tram and downtown.
