Yes, this is again another collection, just after one we did a week ago !!! This one is focused on Non-perishable foods, as the Food Pantry is really in short supply. The last drive was focused on NRP’s Trauma Response Efforts, and we had a good response for that, but lacked getting the regular Food Items. This collection will be focused on that, so if you can find it in your hearts to help out, we will be making another collection next week on Wednesday, 07 JUN 23, starting at 9:00 AM. Just email us your actual address to: mike@divehards.com<mailto:mike@divehards.com>, to let us know what to expect to pick up (as well as, what not to take off your porches !!!), and we will get back to you. PLEASE MAKE SURE that there is a Phone Number, so that we can reach you during collection times, should there be any questions.

[image001.jpg] "Trauma teddies are essential to our trauma response efforts. Firstly, giving children a comfort item such as a teddy bear is a great way to make them feel safe enough to open up and engage with us. Trauma teddies also help us to reach parents and adults who otherwise may be reluctant to open up about their experience. Seeing a child smiling and playing with a trauma teddy given by our team makes them more likely to trust us and engage in conversation or accept a referral for further support." - Dan Emerick, Trauma Response Team Program Manager Please consider donating any of the following: * New or gently used teddy bears (small to medium sized) * Cases of smaller water bottles * Juice Boxes (apple or orange) * Capri Sun or other coolaid pouches * Keurig K-Cups * Ground coffee * Coffee filters * Easy Mac - single serving packs of mac & cheese * Ramen noodles (beef, chicken, shrimp) Canned soup (ideally pop-top - but can be can-opener style) Just email us your actual address to: mike@divehards.com<mailto:mike@divehards.com>, to let us know what to expect to pick up (as well as, what not to take off your porches !!!), and we will get back to you.
