Re: Volunteer to help Food Drive at Hilo Post Office, Saturday, May 13, 1 - 6 pm
Date: 5-08-2017
Dear Colleagues,
Here is an opportunity to give back to our Hilo community:
Hilo teacher volunteers are needed to sort food donations on May 13 at Hilo Post Office for the National Association of Letter Carriers 25th anniversary Food Drive.
Please wear covered shoes, and your red HSTA shirts to show your spirit!
Park on the street alongside the chain link fence.
Sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in the mailroom (near the sign-in clipboard).
This union-driven food drive has grown to be the largest one-day food drive in our nation which helps to ensure our local food banks have enough supplies to meet the need of every child who is lacking a nutritional meal. For many students, the summer months mean the end of regular meals in school, causing families who participate in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program to seek food from food banks. The food collected from this drive will benefit our local food banks which according to the Hawaii FoodBank support more than 200 agencies that provide food to help feed one in five people each year in Hawaii.
Help sort food donations at the Hilo Post Office on Saturday,May 13 from 1:00 pm until 6:00 pm. Any time teachers can give would be greatly appreciated!
Can't volunteer on May 13? Look for the blue bags in your mailbox and donate a few containers of non-perishable food. Mahalo for your generosity.
It would be great to see Waiakea Intermediate School teachers helping with this important cause. Let's get together and help make a difference!
