Annual Pot Luck Dinner

Come eat and help the Pantry of Broward

A friend's teenage son, Brooks, recently became Chair of The Pantry of Broward's Junior Ambassadors. Part of his responsibility is to help collect food and raise money to buy food for The Pantry. The Pantry provides food and needed services to area seniors who are raising their grandchildren on fixed incomes. 

According to Brooks, "the shelves at The Pantry are nearly bare and the Junior Ambassadors are reaching out to area homeowner associations to try to get approval to hold food drives in those neighborhoods. " Here's how it works: the Junior Ambassadors will place flyers in grocery bags on door knobs during the week prior to the food drive and then pick-up donations from doorsteps (no knocking on doors involved) the following Saturday morning. 

This sounded like such a fantastic idea and the Board agreed, first how great that these teenagers are doing their best to help others, and second - how timely is the request that Croissant Park paticipate in the food drive for such a worthy cause on the eve of our Pot Luck dinner?

To kick the food drive off we have asked Brooks to come to our pot luck dinner and explain the program. What YOU can do to help is, in addition to whatever dish you might be bringing to the pot luck (or in lieu thereof - but I hate to let you off the hook that easy!) to bring some canned or boxed food to contibute to the Pantry. I'd love to send Brooks home with a car load of food, so please, yet another reason to attend the pot luck dinner - food for us and food for some people who can really use a hand. 

Hope to see you and lots of food of all types on Tuesday!!!!

The Pot Luck Dinner is Tuesday, Feb 26 in the Community Center - 7:00  - Everyone is invited and we will have speakers from the City to address important issues affecting our neighborhood.
