The first SKINKER DEBALIVIERE FOOD DRIVE of 1994 will be Saturday, March 19, and it will encompass the entire community, from Limits Walk in Parkview to DeBaliviere and from Delmar to Pershing.
The beneficiaries of the collection will be the pantries at St. Roch’s, Grace Methodist, Grace and Peace, and New Cote Brilliante.
On Saturday, March 19, beginning at 9:30 a.m., volunteers will collect non-perishable goods and personal hygiene items from the front porches of all Skinker DeBaliviere neighbors.
We will send out reminders the week before the collection, but please mark you calendars and add to your shopping lists. Due to the increase in the size of the collection area, we will need assistance.
Residents with large vehicles are needed to drive a section of the neighborhood, while others are are needed to pick up goods from porches and load the vehicles. .The time involved should not be more than three hours.
If you would like to volunteer in the collection of goods or the use of large vehicles, or the distribution of reminder flyers, please call Beth Bender at 863- 3854 or call the SDCC Office at 862-5122.
Please choose to make a difference in the lives of others. Thank you in advance.
