The Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry Needs You... Calling all Scouts!
The SCV Food Pantry is in desperate need of volunteers for the Annual National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive, Saturday, May 8th from 1:30-6:30p.m. The SCV Food Pantry would literally run out of food during the summer if it were not for this food drive.
We need approximately 50 volunteers who will be assigned to two Post Offices and one storage facility here in Santa Clarita.
The volunteers at the Post Offices (Creekside Road or The Old Road - south of Calgrove and west of the I-5) will help the Letter Carriers unload their vehicles and place the bags/boxes of donated food in large wheeled bins and then roll them to the large trucks rented by the SCV Food Pantry.
The volunteers at the storage facility (EZ Access Self Storage on Carl Road behind AV Party Rentals off Newhall Road - formerly San Fernando Road) will help roll the wheeled bins off the trucks - pull any glass or boxed items from the bags if time allows - and stack all donated bags/boxes in the storage unit.
We can divide the time - 1:30-6:30p into two shifts if needed or the volunteers can work the entire time. Shifts would be 1:30-4:30pm and 4:30-6:30pm.
There is an article in today's Signal about this food drive.
Thank you so much for your willingness to get the word out to local Boy and Girl Scouts. I so much appreciate your help.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I can be reached Monday-Thursday (8:30a-12:30p) at the Pantry (661) 255-9078 or anytime by cell 755-3190 or home 297-6142 and always by email. Volunteers are welcome to contact me or my assistant, Margaret, directly and sign up at their preferred location.
Best,
