A Message from Our Service Project Chair, Jennifer Sultz:
 

Good afternoon, friends! 

Coming up soon, we have several volunteer projects that we hope you'll participate in!

Work Day at our Adopted Park

Saturday, September 20 from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m., we will be gathering at Lorel Park which is just a couple blocks north of the Skokie Library. We'll meet at the shelter where Village staff will be ready for us with gloves, equipment, and instructions. We will be mulching, weeding, and generally cleaning up our club's adopted park. Please sign up HERE.

Diaper Donation Packaging:

Saturday, October 11 from 10:30 - Noon we will be preparing diaper donations for families in need at Bundled Blessings, located in the First United Methodist Church, 516 Church St., Evanston. This is a fun and easy volunteer activity that makes a huge impact!  Please let me know if you plan to join us that morning by signing up HERE.

Food Pantry Pickups at Trader Joe's:

Ongoing: a reminder about our ongoing Trader Joe’s Food Rescue effort.  Our club participates year-round in picking up donated food from Trader Joe’s in Evanston and delivering it to the Niles Township Food Pantry. This is a great way to help stock the food pantry while making sure that good food doesn't go to waste. Specific pick-up times are available via online sign up form HERE.

October Coat Drive:

And finally, our club's annual winter coat drive is coming up soon, so please start to put aside those new or lightly used coats, hats, gloves and scarves. More info will be shared soon.

Thanks everyone! Please let me know if you have questions or any ideas for future service projects. 

Jen
