Hello Woodcreek!

 

The weather has been teasing us, but spring is coming. Really.

While there are no events scheduled for April, we are having our Pantry Grand Opening on May 4 from 1-3 pm. This is a big event, being the culmination of a large grant from the United Way Community Services Recovery Fund. The pantry has been quite successful, and a huge round of applause is due to Naomi Burkinshaw and her team of volunteers, as well as our office staff. We have invited several dignitaries to attend. Join us and support the pantry.

The deadline for ordering April Good Food Boxes is Monday, April 8 at 4 PM.  Thank you to the many residents who have been purchasing a GFB and donating it to the pantry.

The exec and staff have been working with the city to plan out our spending over the next several years to keep our facilities in top condition, and to take advantage of the various grants available to us. There will be some updates to our hall in 2024, and any major work happening during the summer of 2025.

Save the date.  Our spring Community Cleanup event is scheduled for Saturday, May 25th.   We’ll publish further information on our website and in our e-newsletters. This is a popular event for us, with cars lined up to the corner. Our volunteers work extremely hard to ensure people can get in and drop off their stuff safely.

 

Regards,

 

Keith and Jennifer

President and 1st VP
