Dear Aunt Dot’s Place Volunteers,
We are incredibly grateful for your support in nourishing our neighbors in need. Thank you for being a catalyst in our community to fight food insecurity. Last month a total of 171 households, this would not be possible without you!
Friendly Reminder:
- Monthly Board meetings occur on the 1st Wednesday of the month from 7 pm-8:30 pm. All are welcome to attend!
- The Board of Directors has 1 vacancy. If you’re interested in using your skills to support Aunt Dot’s Place please let us know by emailing AuntDotsPlace@gmail.com. Meetings are on the 1st Wednesday of the month from 7 pm-8:30 pm.
Mask Update: *SAME AS LAST MONTH* Masks must continue to be worn during open shop hours (Tuesday 6 pm-7:30 pm, Thursday 9 am-11 am, and Saturday 10 am-12 pm). If you are at Aunt Dot’s Place for other purposes other than open shop hours, masks are optional as we are not confined to the smaller areas and move more freely throughout the facility while stocking/sorting/labeling.
