We Need You this Thanksgiving!

How Can I Help?
We need 1,500 volunteers to greet customers and distribute Donate Dinner cards at participating grocery stores during the 5 days before Thanksgiving, Nov. 21 - 25, 2009. Shifts are 2 hours and are available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

What Do I Do?
You simply greet customers with a smile, hand them a card and say, "Hi, I'm a volunteer for Loaves & Fishes Centers, the Meals-On-Wheels People. If you'd like to Donate Dinner for a senior, please tell the cashier when you check out. Thank you!" You are welcome to sign up for more than one shift...and bring a friend!

Donate Dinner is one of the largest volunteer events in the Portland metropolitan area. Last year, volunteers raised more than $230,000 to feed local seniors. Donations increase significantly when we have a volunteer present. Please join us! We served 1.4 million meals last year and the need continues to grow.
