Prepare For The Weekend Of Service
Jan 16, 2009 10:11 - 0 Comments
Most >Rockville Central readers know that there is a big push going on to make this Inauguration Weekend one that highlights a call to service.
Montgomery County has established “Yes Montgomery Can” as a way for people to connect to service opportunities this weekend. (Warning: that link has irritating sound you can’t turn off.)
In particular, we encourage readers to donate food to Manna Food Center, the largest food bank in the county and located right here in Our Fair City. Just take your food items to the Giant on Rockville Pike (next to Flagship Car Wash) between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm on Saturday or Sunday.
(Here’s the food most needed: peanut butter, tuna fish, canned fruit, baby formula, baby food,shelf-stable milk, cereal and oatmeal, rice, canned and dried beans, tomato sauce, pasta, macaroni and cheese, and canned soup.)
In addition, please consider volunteering to help out. You can sign up easily here. (No sound at this link.) Many of our neighbors will be going door to door, canvassing to raise funds to match an anonymous gift.
