November 2009
We've been busy - we have a website and we're on facebook - links to the right
--Last month there were 2 Mondays that we were not open for food drop-offs. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused, and although this is uncommon, we've taken Monday mornings off the schedule, but we added Tuesday mornings from 8:30-9:00am. If you want to take a chance on Monday mornings, we are usually there starting at 7am for an hour or two, but don't hold us to it, OK?
--People have been asking us about Thanksgiving. We will be distributing turkeys and all the fixings for Thanksgiving to our clients on Sat. Nov. 21st. Most of the items will be purchased at he Boston Food Bank at greatly reduced prices, but typically they do not have stuffing, desserts, and breads, so we will be asking our friends to donate those items in an email to be sent out in a couple of weeks. By the way, and I'm sure you understand, but we cannot accept home made items - everything has to be store bought.
--There is one more way you can help us if you'd prefer not to go shopping. You could help us provide a dinner for a family by sending a check (any amount) to Canton Area Helpline, PO Box 202, Canton, MA 02021, and in the memo line please write THANKSGIVING DINNER.
Hoping you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family.
