National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive
We need individuals or groups to volunteer at the Westside (Struck St.), Capitol (East Washington), and Madison (Milwaukee St.) postal stations on May 10, 2008 for the National Association of Letter Carriers food drive. Many volunteers will be unloading mail vehicles that are stuffed with food donations. Sign up for one of two shifts: 100-430pm or 330-700pm. While other volunteers will help store bins of food in our warehouse for future sorting and distribution to food pantries. This is the single largest food drive in Dane County and the United States!

17th Annual Food Share Day
Eat out at a participating restaurant on Tuesday, July 29, 2008 and 10% of profits will support the Dane County Food Pantry Network (DCFPN). CAC is currently in the process of signing up restaurants so stay tuned for an updated list of partners! If your restaurant would like to participate, please contact Nichelle Nichols at 246-4730 ext. 216.
