December 22 - volunteering at Metropolitan United Church

Dear Interact Team,

We would like to ask for everyone's support for a volunteer event on Wednesday, December 22. The Metropolitan United Church (located downtown across from City Hall)
is distributing Christmas food hampers to the families in the Limberlost community. They have asked for our help in loading the food from the church into the cars. It's another chance for us to help out those less fortunate during the Christmas holidays, it will help us get recognized in the community, and it will go towards our next event with Limberlost.

Location:
Metropolitan United Church, 468 Wellington St, London Access through the east side door through the parking lot.
Time:
8:30 - 10:00 AM. Please try to make it on time.
Date: Wednesday, December 22
Parking:  The church lot is plugged with huge piles of snow at the moment and we want to keep as many spots open for our drivers as possible so please don't park at the church.  Since school is out for Christmas, parking may be available at Central Secondary School or on nearby parking meters.
Details:There will be approx 400 boxes of food to be loaded from a large assembly room in the church into the cars of volunteer drivers.   
What are we doing?:  There are approximately 130 - 135 families to serve with Christmas food hampers.  Each family gets three boxes of food (clearly marked by labels on the boxes) plus one turkey and one 10 lb bag of potatoes.  The job is to take instructions from the reception desk and ensure the right boxes, turkey and potatoes get into the right car.  For example, "Unit #62 and 63 into the grey Honda" may be the instruction.  Locate all boxes for Limberlost units 62 and 63 and move them from the assembly room into the driver's car.  Grab a bag of potatoes and a turkey for each family and ensure they are in the car with the boxes.  Ensure the driver is happy that they have everything and send them on their way. 

Contact:
  Ask for Dave Spencer when you get to the church and he'll get you going, or try to find other Interactors.
