All Hands Dispatch – March

March 2022

Welcome to the March issue of IH2: All Hands Dispatch!

March is an exciting time as we kick-off our Easter campaign.  Most of our food drives have already started or will start this coming week.  We expect to provide about 600 families with a holiday food box, fresh meals, and many other holiday treats.  If you’d like to donate, sort, assemble, and/or distribute with us, please sign-up by clicking the links below.  We’d love to have you along for the efforts!  It is because of YOU that we continue to grow our outreach.  Currently, we are working on expanding our reach to yet another Butler County elementary school and the families there that are facing economic and circumstantial hardship.  We sincerely appreciate your support!  Every food item, gift card, and dollar we collect helps us reach more children and families.  Thank you so much for so generously contributing to these efforts.

As I announced last month, we are expanding and growing!  With the significant growth of our outreach efforts, we have simply run out of room for food, gifts, clothing, and the many other items we assemble and distribute to area families over the course of the year.  So exciting, right?  We are happy to report that the landlord has formally approved our request to the lease the second half of the floor at our distribution facility in Gibsonia, bringing our total footprint to 5,000 square feet.  We are continuing to work hard on fundraising efforts that will help us cover additional equipment and the increased financial commitments.  We’re so appreciative of any support you can offer towards this effort.

As always, thank you with all of my heart for your continued support, prayers, encouragement, and generosity.  We are doing so many amazing things in our community because of you.  God has big plans for us, and we are blessed to have each and every one of you as partners in this amazing journey.

Much Love,

Flexible/Independent Volunteer Opportunities

Sometimes it’s hard to get away!  We completely understand.  That’s why we’ve put together some volunteer opportunities that you can do at your own pace.  To gather all of the things we need to fill these 600 boxes, we need help with donations!

If you are interested in hosting a food and/or ALDI gift card drive in your neighborhood, team, club, school, corporate organization, or even your study group, please signup in the Volunteer Portal.  There are also opportunities for you to assemble treat bags that we will hand out during our distributions.  There are lots of ways to get involved even if your schedule doesn’t permit set times and places.
