ALR Potters Lane Canned Food & Sundries Drive
Wednesday, August 15 at 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Meet at the Post at 1:30 PM
Tour starts at 2:00 PM
Early Dinner starts around 3:30 PM

The folks at Potters Lane have invited our Chapter and Post Family to Potters Lane for a tour of the facility.

Potters Lane is our local Midway City American Family Housing (AFH) veteran housing establishment. This is the facility that was built out of converted shipping containers. From these containers, 400 sq ft units were built and furnished for our local homeless veterans. Currently there are 16 veterans and one on site employee in this 20 unit complex.

If you would like to bring any canned goods or sundry items, please check our our list of urgently needed items. These items that we are collecting will go directly into the onsite pantry at Potters Lane, for its residents.
We will also drop off our collected canned food and sundry items at this time. After the tour, the Riders (us) will BBQ an early dinner for the residents, staff, and ourselves. The plan is to grill up burgers and dogs, with potato salad, mac salad, chips, and maybe corn, or some other veggie. This is a great opportunity for the legion family to get to know the resident veterans, and maybe do a little bit of recruiting!

Everyone is invited to this event. Please RSVP so that I know how much food to bring.

IF you are not able to attend, but would still like to support, we will gladly accept a monetary donation towards this endeavor. Our chapter will purchase the items for you. Please donate at our PayPal address: https://www.PayPal.Me/ALRChapter555
Please add Note: For Potters Lane Pantry - and please specify where you would like your funds to be applied: example: food only / sundries only.

Thank you
