Dear Lincoln Squirrel readers,
My name is Andrew Craig and I am a junior at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. I have had the pleasure of volunteering with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, our amazing local food bank at St. Joseph’s Church, that serves the residents of Lincoln and Weston. SVdP does incredible work for our community, providing vital emergency food and monetary assistance for those in need. The recent (and ongoing) Covid pandemic and challenging economic times many are experiencing only highlights the continued need to support organizations like SVdP whenever possible.
I am organizing a spring food drive with several friends to benefit SVdP on Saturday, May 21. Please consider donating any extra nonperishable food items you may have. We will happily stop by your home that morning to pick up and collect as many bags as you are willing to donate and will deliver them to the food bank that day. Our goal is collect food items from at least 50 households if possible.
Please email me directly at andrewcraig1210@gmail.com if you are able to contribute in any way. In order to continue to follow proper social distancing/safety measures, please leave your items in a bag for us to collect in a visible location near your front door, driveway, or mailbox. We would ask that you place your items outside by 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 21.
Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you!
Sincerely,
Andrew Craig
10 Farrar Rd.
