About this event

Scouting for food pick-up and sorting day. Saturday Nov 7 9am-12pm. Deliver food to the New Hope Chapel on Route 112 at 80 Richmond Townhouse Rd, Carolina, RI on Saturday before 11:30 pm Please do not start collecting before 9:00 am to give people a chance to put out their food.

Retrace your scouting for food tag distribution route, and pick-up any left out food donations. *Please also pick up any tags you find along the route* Bring all collected food to the New Hope Chapel at 80 Richmond Townhouse Rd, Carolina, RI 02812 (right next to the Washington County Fairgrounds)

Tag instructions state to leave the food where the tag was left, but keep your eye out by the mailbox, or at front door/steps for donations. Tag instruction state to have donations out by 9AM Saturday morning. So be sure to wait till 9 to start your collection.

At the Chapel, there are a few carts available to transport food from your vehicle into the chapel. Inside the Chapel we will be sorting the donations. Please stay to help sort if you can share any time (and if you cannot, that is ok as well) Do make sure to come inside to sign in and fill out the community service tracking form inside even if you cannot stay for sorting.

Sorting will likely take until around 11-12, more hands make for faster work, and you do not have to stay till the end.

Try to have your collections to the chapel in by 11:30
