Store To Door spreads the word

In the last two months, Store To door has done over 35 outreach events. These include health fairs, volunteer fairs, and presentations to many senior housing facilities and community groups. We consider fall an important time to spread the word about our service so people have the information on hand when more severe winter weather hits and they can no longer get to the store.

We couldn't participate in nearly as many events without our volunteer outreach committee. This important group of 11 people helps us increase capacity by giving presentations and spending time telling others about our service. Every single committee member has another volunteer role at Store To Door, as a shopper, order taker, or board member; their work on this committee is truly above and beyond and we appreciate it tremendously.

We are looking for a few more people to join us. If you're passionate about our mission and enjoy talking to others. please drop me a note.
