Community Friends,
Saturday, September 28, is Good Neighbor Day! To show we are good neighbors, a group of community partners will be conducting a drive-thru and walk-up food pantry that day in the parking lot at the corner of 17th and Main Streets in downtown Dubuque. The sponsoring partners are First Presbyterian Church, Westminster Presbyterian Church, the Downtown Neighborhood Association and St. Stephens Branch of River Bend Foodbank. The goal is to address hunger and food insecurity in our community. Food will be given out free of charge to those who need it. There are no requirements for participation. We plan to serve around 200 families at the event.
We expect to get many requests from individuals and community groups that would like to assist with this project. Our volunteers will begin working at 8:00 AM that morning and we expect to finish around 10:30 AM. It is important that we know a week in advance (by September 21) what individuals or groups are coming and how many people are volunteering so that we can send instructions and prepare for them. We can provide jobs for everyone regardless of abilities, from greeting people to heavy lifting! If you have questions please feel free to contact me. My contact information is listed below. Many thanks for your help in serving the unmet needs in our community. Let's show we are Good Neighbors!
