Matt Kozlowski will be hosting the 12th Annual UMPO Food Drive for the Worcester County Food Bank!
Event Details:
- Duration: Week of 12/04 – 12/08
- Collection Method: Due to remote work, please send donations directly to Matt via PayPal or Venmo (details below).
Donation Process:
- Matt will collect funds throughout the week of 12/04 – 12/08.
- On Friday 12/08 at 1 pm, he will purchase the food items.
- The proceeds will be delivered to the Worcester County Food Bank, benefiting local families in need, soup kitchens, food pantries, and various community meal programs.
Why This Approach?
While individuals can certainly donate directly to the food bank, our team has chosen to maintain the tradition of our annual event. This collective method allows us to contribute one team donation, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose. Matt will document the entire process with photos of funds collected, funds spent, and the food items, ensuring transparency and accountability.
How to Donate:
- PayPal: mat5182@gmail.com
- Venmo: www.venmo.com/mat5182
- Checks: Personal check made out to me or to the (Worcester County Food Bank). If you are more comfortable with this method, please let me know, and I can forward you my mailing address. Or we can make other arrangements offline.
Remember, there's no obligation to donate, but any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful impact in supporting those facing difficult decisions related to job loss, illness, utilities, or putting food on the table.
Thank you for your continued generosity, and let's make our twelfth year the most impactful one yet!
