neighborhood news: Philabundance

Dear neighbors,
Sorry...I forgot to add this to my other note just now!

My good neighbor, Eva O'Brien and friend Debbie, over here on Cambridge drive is collecting donations to Philabundance downtown. Please see the note below for items needed. She has made it easy for you....all you have to do is drop off donations on her back porch. I hope you can find the time. Please share this request with anyone else who might be interested.

Dear Friends,
We are all aware of the numerous people suffering from damage or loss of belongings and homes due to Hurricane Sandy.  Thankfully there are various groups asking for monetary donations to aid those who have been affected up and down the coast and inland.
We have been informed that Philabundance located in Philadelphia is in dire need of nonperishable goods.  They supply many food resource banks in the city and beyond, even the Mattie Dixon Food Cupboard in Ambler.  I contacted the Mattie Dixon Cupboard and they are well-stocked at this time.  A food resource center in Philadelphia had to shut down last week due to a lack of food donations. Eva O'Brien and I would like to help them out by collecting nonperishable food items and delivering them to Philabundance.  If you feel like lending a hand to this great organization on which so many people depend, please donate a few items.  Philabundance suggests canned tuna, macaroni and cheese, canned pasta, canned beef stew, canned chili, creamy peanut butter, jelly, canned green beans, canned corn, breakfast cereal and hot cereal.
We would like to deliver the food goods on November 16th.  You may drop off any items on Eva O'Brien's back porch at 1424 Cambridge Drive.  If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 215-542-2398.
 
Thank you,
Debbie Beardsley
Eva O'Brien
