"Calling all Canton Rotarians! You can be an INTEGRAL part of this year's McKinley/Massillon Food Fight", the Stark Hunger Task Force's BIGGEST food drive of the year!
The Task Force has lost the use of their box truck due to age, so they COULD USE OUR HELP TO PICK UP FOOD AT CANTON CITY SCHOOLS, THE CITY OF CANTON & A COUPLE OF OTHER LOCATIONS!
WHAT: Pick up boxes of collected food items at Canton City School locations plus some other spots; there will be people available at the sites to assist with loading into your vehicle.
WHEN: Friday October 23rd starting at noon, with delivery to Ken Weber Goodwill Campus before 4 PM (NOTE: THERE IS NO ROTARY MEETING THAT DAY as our mutual meeting with Massillon is the day before.)
WHAT'S NEEDED: YOU, especially if you have an SUV or pick up truck. We have a list of 17 sites that they need help with; if you are willing to help, we will sit down & assign those sites. The plan will be for each Rotarian or team of Rotarians to pick up at one or two sites, depending on how many volunteers & vehicles we will have. If you have folks at your business or work who might want to help, this would be a great team-building exercise!
If you are able to help, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP, so we can start planning such that we can be ready to go well BEFORE 10/23!
Contact Rick Taylor at 330-575-2870 or rtaylor_taylorbev@hotmail.com!
This is a great opportunity to help one of our community partners in a time of need, as well as to help our neighbors in the community."
(PS: the Stark Hunger Task Force is in need of a 16', dock height box truck, new or a good used truck, at a good price. If you know of any such vehicle, please let me know. They are willing to put a donor or sponsor's name, logo, etc. on the truck. Canton Rotary will be able to help with a small donation to the purchase price.This is the vehicle they use weekly to pick up food at the Akron Canton Food Bank & distirbute to various food missions. It is ESSENTIAL to their mission. Thank you.)
