Better Communities, One Meal at a Time SPAAR Needs YOU! (And 99 of your friends!) SPAARs Community Engagement Committee has partnered with Meals From The Heart, a nonprofit based in Stillwater, that mobilizes teams of volunteers, for a meal-packing event at SPAAR on Friday, September 29. We need volunteers for one-hour shifts, beginning at 1:00 p.m. Each shift, two teams will go head-to-head to claim bragging rights. Volunteer with your office, friends and family (age 10 and up). Put together a team with your office or company or join a team of all-stars. There is no charge for participating. Registration is through SPAARs website or call Joe at 651-772-6344. SPAAR Needs You! Volunteers will package 30,000 servings of nutritious, chef-created meals for distribution to local food shelves. Did you know that food shelves in our area serve more than 15,000 families every month? You can help make an immediate, direct and significant impact on a serious problem. Questions? Contact Joe McKinley at SPAAR: 651-772-6344 or [email protected]. |
