Pickering Cares 2011 - The last 12 days

   All the planning and preparing now shifts into volunteers carrying out the two major tasks:
       1. Deliver a Door Handle Flyer to the 25,000 single family homes in Pickering that are south of Finch
       2. Come back May 14th and pick up the food that people put out for the food banks.

   We at Pickering Cares have again been amazed by the cooperation of the community. There are 7 of the churches, scouts pathfinders, youth groups and community volunteers making a contribution this year. We trust that by Saturday night, May 7th, all the flyers will have been delivered.

    Then Saturday, May 14th, we need everybody possible to help us collect, sort, pack and deliver the approximately 10 tons of food the citizens of Pickering will donate. Here are the details:

     Amberlea Presbyterian Church - 1820 Whites Road - 9AM

     We need drivers and runners. We will have certificates available for High School Volunteer Hours.

      When many hands work together we can accomplish much and make a huge difference to those families that need it the most this summer.

      Thank you in advance for your help.
