Every month, Phoenix Rising relies on the congregation for continuing donations of canned tuna, bread, juice boxes, pudding cups, fruit cups or applesauce, chips, cookies and granola bars to make approximately 150 bagged meals.
Franconia UMC needs a volunteer or volunteers to act as a co-coordinator for Phoenix Rising. Responsibilities include working with Franconia’s other co-coordinator to ensure that there is enough food to make around 150 bagged meals (number varies), oversee making the bagged meals, and delivering them. Franconia UMC makes and delivers bagged meals once a month. Meals are always delivered on the 4th Friday and meal sacks are typically prepared the day before.
In addition to a co-coordinator, we need volunteers to help deliver meals. Deliveries are done at locations along the Route One corridor. New delivery people will be paired with experienced people.
Any non-perishable donations can be left in the appropriate donation bins located in Cokesbury Hall, next to the stairs. Email Suzanne Ackley at gro.cmuainocnarf@snoissiM with any questions.
