Caring Place Food
Drive
A Need Expressed
by the Caring Place -
"Help! The food
reserves at The Caring Place are getting critically low as we move
into summer, a high demand season. The escalating cost of food and
gas is putting increasing pressure on families and they are turning
to The Caring Place for relief. Please consider having a food drive
for The Caring Place.
Donald M. Loving,
MSW
Executive Director"
The SunCityTXCyclists would like to respond to
the need expressed by the Caring Place with a Club drive to collect
needed materials as expressed by the list of items that follows.
The Caring Place provides integral and well delivered services to
those in need in our community and we can make a significant
contribution toward their effort.
Those willing to participate are asked to choose
5 items from the list included below or if preferred a contribution
in the amount of $15. Bill McMillian, who lives at 316 Cobalt Cove,
has agreed to accumulate the donations for delivery to the Caring
Place. The donations will be delivered in the name of
SunCityTXCyclists as an effort to enhance the welfare of our
community. If you will, please take your donation to Bill's by
Saturday July 12th where they may be deposited by the front door (if
they are not at home). Should it be impossible to deliver your
contribution please call 868-1860 and someone will come to your
home. Each person is asked to limit their contribution to only
those items shown below.
Thank you for considering to participate in this
very well placed Club effort.
