Help Next Week at Kingsley Elementary: Harvest Baskets

Imagine a cafeteria filled with boxes including everything to create a Thanksgiving dinner and so much more ... This was the vision of Honorary Rotarian Anita Augello and her daughter Claudia six years ago when they started putting together Harvest Baskets for families with financial difficulties and hungry children. Anita tells us "Along with a turkey for Thanksgiving we also gift them with sustainable and nourishing products that should last them for a little while. We get help from Rotary Club of Dunwoody, E. 48th Street Market, and contributions from neighbors in Deerfield, Brooke Farm and Kingsley. All that generosity is greatly appreciated."

We have participated in this program - with money for turkeys or hams and other supplies, and sometimes donating canned goods or oatmeal. This year, we are again providing funding, but we also have opportunities for hands-on participation. 

Some of us participated yesterday - picking up supplies from Costco and delivering them to Kingsley. Next week, we need two very strong people in the morning and two in the afternoon on Thursday, 11/16 at Kingsley Elementary School to carry well-filled (heavy) harvest baskets to people's cars.

Contact Anita Augello at 770-235-9981 to volunteer.
