Our RAD group's ongoing project to pack lunch bags fo the homeless has a new schedule. It is now a MONTHLY project. The next packing date is September 6. They will continue to meet at St. Joseph's Church on Lake Avenue at 6pm on the designated days. Most nights, the group and other volunteers have packed and delivered 100-150 lunches. Volunteers are welcome. Contact Mariana Al Far (marianafar@gmail.com) if you would like to participate. A RAD member meeting will follow the lunch packing.
They will continue to do this the 1st Tuesday of the month, but our goal is to pass this off to another local group who we will train and pay for the food for them to pack. Mariana has been in touch with the moderators for a special needs group of students at New Trier who are looking for a project to take on. We have to wait until school is back in session to discuss this with them and see how soon they can take over. Mariana will contact St. Joseph Church and confirm we only need the Joseph Room on the 2nd Tuesday of the month instead of every Tuesday.
