Community Service Fall Happenings

THANKSGIVING DINNER FOOD DRIVE
This is the time of year to say “thanks” and to be thankful for all that we have, and all that we have to offer our neighbors. So this fall PBL has decided to hold a Thanksgiving dinner themed food drive.

Club members will be collecting the non-perishable ingredients for a complete Thanksgiving dinner, such as stuffing and instant mashed potatoes, canned veggies and fruit, canned pie filling and pie crust mix, foil pans and pie pans, canned gravy and broth, etc., as well as gift certificates or money donations to purchase turkeys. Everything we collect will be turned into boxed Thanksgiving dinners for area families in need. Each box (or basket, since they will be delivered in laundry baskets) should feed an average family of four (2 adults/2 children).

The food drive is scheduled to begin November 1st 2009, with donation drop-off sites at participating Walla Walla and College Place grocery stores. Look for our box on the WWCC campus, too!

The following is a list of dates and times we will be set up outside area businesses to collect donations:
Sunday, November 1st
Saturday, November 7th & Sunday, November 8th
Saturday, November 14th & Sunday, November, 15th
Saturday, November 21st & Sunday, November 22nd

Saturdays: 9:00 – 12:00 Sundays: 10:00 – 1:00

We will need people to work these shifts. You may work the whole shift, or only an hour of one. A signup sheet will be available shortly, as will a list of confirmed locations.

  1. I would be more than happy to help with some of those dates. If my work schedule changes like it is suppose to I will start having Saturdays off so I will be able to help on some/most of them. I will let you know as soon as I find out!
