How Can I Help?

Prepare a Dinner Box Collect the items listed, ideally in a box roughly 12" x 18" with a lid, and drop them off in the storage room across from Books by the Park/Common Grounds Cafe' on or before Friday, Nov. 18.

*If you are part of a group bringing items for a box, please wait to bring the box to church until it has been completely filled.

Load the Truck

At least 15 volunteers are needed Saturday morning, Nov. 19, to help load dinner boxes into trucks at Parkside at 8am sharp! Please call Tracy if you can help with this stage (330.562.0721).

Help Distribute the Meals

Join us Saturday, Nov. 19, from 10am-12pm, at Scranton Road Bible Church for the distribution. No need to call, just meet us at Scranton Road Bible Church, 3095 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, 44143.

Money for a Turkey

You can make a contribution to help cover the cost of purchasing the turkeys by writing “Box Project” on the memo line of your check and dropping it in the offering plate. Please do not put it in your dinner box.
