Hi everyone - We had a great event on Saturday, we had over 60 volunteers come together to make 1,752 snack bags for Caring for Friends! Your monetary donations enabled Caring for Friends to bring supplies for 1,000 bags and food donations from GIANT (4275 County Line Road, Chalfont) and the people from St Jude enabled us to make another 752 snack bags. The donations from the raffle for the Edible Arrangement donated from Edible Arrangements (2333 Welsh Rd, Unit C-18, Lansdale) raised the last of the funds we needed for the event ! 

Most importantly we had a great time coming together as a community (young, old, employees of GIANT and deluxe, etc.) to help those in need - thank you to everyone who made it possible!  Below is one picture from the event, more are coming as people who were at the event send me their photos.

GIANT is partnering with our St Jude/Caring for Friends efforts and has offered to sponsor monthly events with us. We are thinking about doing a monthly scaled down version of the snack bag event (perhaps with a goal of 500 bags), more to come as we figure out the details. 

In the meantime, please keep those meals and soups coming, the representative from Caring for Friends who was at the event on Saturday said they continue to see very low donations and said our donations are helping them get food to all those in need. He also asked to see if we could reach out to our neighbors and friends to see if there may be anyone in our local community who could benefit from meals from Caring from Friends, so if you know of anyone please pass on Caring for Friends contact information (215) 464-2224.
