Help Store To Door get a full page ad in the Star Tribune

Hello, supporters of Store To Door,

Store To Door has entered a contest in the Star Tribune called the “Full Page Project”. The nonprofit that gets the most votes will win a full page ad in the Sunday Star Tribune.  This could really do a terrific job of reaching potential clients and their families. This link takes you to Store To Door page on the contest site.

We can vote from today, November 15 through 5 PM on Sunday, November 21.

Remember, the most common refrain that we get when out in the community doing outreach is “why have I never heard of you?”  This full page ad could definitely help!!

Please pass this along to friends and family!

Thanks, everyone for your support.  We appreciate the effort.

That’s how many hours our volunteers logged in the last fiscal year, which ended in October. That equals 1,315 days of volunteering, which is the equivalent of having 15 additional full-time staff members.

Our volunteer shoppers logged 18,240 hours, while our volunteer order takers served 7,775 hours during the year. Additional volunteers, including our office assistants, coupon program volunteers, board and committee members, and sewing volunteers, served 5,553 hours. In monetary terms, these hours total over $650,000.

We couldn’t have served over 1,300 clients this fiscal year without our amazing volunteers!
