Community Action Missions

 

Update

This Saturday, 19 CAM participants had a great time volunteering at the Regional Food Bank. They have made so many changes in their facility since the last time I was there. They had well over 150 volunteers from a wide range of groups there yesterday. Most groups only work for 3 hours at a time and then new groups come in. For the first three hours, we had the opportunity to work side by side with a group of senior citizens from the Servants Church out of OKC, as well as some overly hyperactive elementary age, boys in a Cub Scout troop. We all had to wear those "wonderful" hairnets that went along with our plastic gloves to prevent contamination of the frozen ears of corn, which we had to repackage. Before lunch, we repackaged four pallets of corn. When we came back in the afternoon, it was just our group. We completed seven more pallets. We repackaged 533 cases- each weighing 30 pounds, which was equivalent to 12,300 meals! Way to GO!

Remember the BIG EVENT- "1-Night in a Box" takes place this weekend, Feb. 26-27. Please click here for details. The weather forecast looks great; so grab a box and your money and come join us!

  • Feb. 20 - OKC Regional Food Bank

  • Feb. 26-27 One Night in a Box- fundraiser for an agency that helps the homeless. Please save any large cardboard boxes so people can sleep in them. Many of the local churches will be joining us this year.

This event might take the place of the March volunteer day.

However, if you would be interested in having a volunteer day on March 13 or 20 (this is at the beginning or end of Norman Schools Spring Break) let Donna know. If we have enough interest, we will arrange to help someone.

I hope to be able to help Cornerstone Kids Ranch again for our first CAMp. However, it will depend on if we have to make up any snow days this winter.

As the dates get closer, Donna will send out more detailed info on each event. Please let Donna know ASAP if you plan to join us for any of these dates. Invite a friend to come participate.
