Dear volunteers,

With gratitude in my heart, I write to thank you for all you’ve done this year to help make the Eastside Coalition of Caring in partnership with Victory House a wonderful source of refuge for too many hurting souls. We have made good, dear friends with many people, working side by side to make a difference.

Your generosity in providing critically needed dollars, hours upon hours of volunteering, baking cookies, and cornbread, making soups and signs, envisioning a community garden has been simply magnificent.

One thing that’s come clear is that our work is far from complete! The summer months are upon us, kids are out of school, business layoffs continue and the pandemic rages on despite an increase in vaccinations.

I’ve accepted and enjoy the role of Volunteer Recruiter/Coordinator for Victory House’ bi-weekly food distributions. To date, we’ve worked alongside Victory House/Shady Grove Baptist volunteers on 11 Saturday mornings since December 2020 donating literally hundreds of hours to the belief that nobody should go hungry.

Moving forward, we need to find between 6-8 volunteers to work two Saturday’s a month

At Victory House (1386 Chaires Cross Road) from 7:45 -10:15 am. The work is rewarding. It’s fast-paced, somewhat physical but with lots of smiles, it’s all worthwhile!

I am attaching a schedule of upcoming food distribution days. Would you be willing to volunteer a few hours of your time on a Saturday morning to help make sure everybody’s fed?

If you will agree to commit to volunteer one or even more Saturdays, our fledgling Coalition of Caring can continue to play an important part in meeting the residents of east side Leon County.

Thanks for all that you have previously done. With humility, I am asking you to commit some more time to help with food distributions at Victory House this coming summer.
