October - King of the Pumpkin Patch
It is almost time for our 22nd annual Great Pumpkin Round-up.
On November 5th, you will see our SAFB trucks around town picking up all the unsold pumpkins. How can you help? Visit your local pumpkin patch. See if they have a donation plan and if not, ask if the SAFB can help. We are also looking for volunteers, so if you would like to get involved, either individual, family, group, school, etc., please let us know. We would love to have you help out and collect these colorful giants!
Events! Events! And more Events!
Harvest of Hope - October 30th
Runway
Side note: Us winos, could use some help in that department. If you have a donation, or could make a donation of wine for the wine pull, we could use your help.
The Great Turkey Challenge
Meetings galore!
Finance Committee: October 21st at 3pm. We will be meeting with the auditors to review the audit. Come all!
FULL Board Meeting: October 28th at Noon!
Program Committee: November 4th at Noon
Food Committee: November 4th at 1pm
And we encourage you to attend, even if you are not on these specific committees. We would love to have you. They are great way to get information (more than you get from these newsletters), and find more opportunities for engagement. So give them a try!
Looking ahead
As we end this year, we will also be sending out the schedule of our mid-year check-ups. If you have been working on your board tracker, yay! But don't worry, we are here for you. If you need some help, or want to know about additional opportunities for engagement, please let us know. We can do just about anything, so give us a holler!
Need help?
Hours do vary per volunteer opportunity but mostly run 9am-11:30am and 1:30pm-4:40pm Monday through Saturday. We are also available for Sunday shifts at Haven for Hope from 6am-9am, 10am-2pm and 3pm-7pm or at the SAFB by appointment. Happy Volunteering!
