SAINT LUKE’S and PARK CITY INITIATIVE
This month, SLOBs are donating to the annual Saint Luke’s Easter Basket Project as well as the food pantry at Park City Initiative in Bridgeport. For Saint Luke’s, SLOBs will provide non-perishable food items for 15 baskets for local families in need. Park City Initiative, a nonprofit organization that provides food to over 600 families, is also in need of non-perishable food items.
The specific items needed include: cans of tuna fish, peanut butter, jelly, pasta, red sauce, cans of vegetables and soup.
Please drop off your food donation anytime between now and Friday, April 2 to 6 Peach Lot Place. Don’t forget to write your SLOBs name on the sign-up sheet next to the donation bins. Any questions, please contact Penny, Nicholas or Alex Miller at pennymiller@optonliine.net.
One hour of credit will go to the SLOBs member. Thanks for your support!

DONATION DRIVE THANK YOU
A HUGE thank you to all the families that donated books for the Curiale School. We delivered over 1,000 books that will be distributed to the students. Because of your donations, students at the Curiale School can bring the books home to start their own home libraries.
