Hi Neighbors!
We are super grateful for your generous support for the Neighborhood Food Drive. We began Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend and as of Friday, January 30th, we have collected 744 pounds of food for Roadrunner Food Bank! The final day of the food drive is Saturday, February 14th. Thank you for helping us show some love to the community!
Just a reminder that food can be dropped off at Fire Station 10 at the corner of Oro Vista and Rio Grande or at my house (2548 Candelaria Rd NW) which is the southeast corner of Candelaria and Glenwood.
I’m attaching a few pictures of a recent delivery.
Take care and have a wonderful week!
Sue Joiner, Lisa Domenici, Bruce Hicks, Shannon Jones, and Steve Seyb
