Carol, 
Would you be able to forward this picture to our neighborhood with the following:

    Thank you so very much for the great donations that were made for Philabundance.  We were able to fill our SUV with food supplies we received from our neighbors in Gwynedd Knoll, E. Meetinghouse and some BB Rotary members. 

I know we are all busy with our lives and it is refreshing that we can take some time to help others.

Philabundance was so happy that they are in our thoughts.

Have a great day.

 

Eva O'Brien

As many of you know, my son, Brendan, hosted a shoe drive as part of his Bar Mitzvah last year.  Through the efforts of many of you, Brendan collected 1,000 pairs of new and gently used shoes for Cradles to Crayons to dole out to needy children in the Philly area.    While we were very pleased with the outcome, as there is so much more to be done, we have decided to make this an annual event.

While there is no pressure to contribute, throughout the Fall, if you are able to do so, please drop off at the top of our driveway any pairs of new or used shoes in decent condition (your own, friends, family, etc) that you would like to donate to C2C.   You can contact me directly if you would rather we pick them up at your house.

Thanks very much for all your help!
