S.O.S. for A.O.H.'s H.H.P Saturday

All:

It’s that time of the month again…

The HHP will be manning the distribution lines at Braddock again this Saturday, August 2nd.

If you can make it, we would really appreciate the help. We’re looking for approximately 6 to 8 additional volunteers.

While I’m hoping to see some new faces this month, the Food Bank has asked the HHP to assume more responsibility related to the Braddock distribution that I think would be well-suited to a number of our brothers who have become mainstays over the past few months.

Specifically, the Food Bank is asking for 4-5 AOH HHP volunteers to manage the Agency Relations roles. These are the monthly roles usually manned by Food Bank personnel who help sign up our participants, hand out ticket numbers and help control the traffic/distribution line.

As we have discussed in the past, the HHP has been looking for opportunities to step-up our involvement with the Food Bank and this would be a step in that direction.

If you are interested, please let me know. Otherwise, we still need people to help setup and man the lines.

Thanks again for your continued support of this worthy cause and I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday.

Brothers, The Hibernian Hunger Project efforts in Braddock, on the first Saturday of every month, are at the VFD #2 Social Hall, 845 Talbot Ave., Braddock, 15104.

Advisory: During the warm-weather months, all food is distributed outside in the parking lot. Because the building is locked, there is no access to a restroom. You might want to ease up on morning coffee, juice, etc., until afterward. - Ed
