Just 10 days left

Volunteers, donors and friends of Blanketing Arizona…

Just 10 DAYS AND COUNTING!!…till our 4th Annual Blanketing AZ Event! We will be serving again this year at 9th Avenue and Jackson on 12/24 (just look for the U-Haul truck and the big white 5th wheel trailer a little south of Jackson). Volunteers who are coming to hand out blankets and meals should arrive at 7:45 and service starts when the chili is warm (about 8).  Volunteers who are coming to help set up tables, coffee and cocoa, etc should be there a little before 7am (we’ll have donuts! J).  Please let me when you are planning to be there that morning so I can distribute the workload if needed.

Please also coordinate with me directly for pick up/drop off of your donated items between this Friday, the 17th and next Thursday the 23rd.  We really can’t coordinate collection of/accept items on the morning of the 24th — it just makes it too challenging with our small space and number of people there to help.  Again, we are happy to come get the items from you if that makes it easier, we just need to do it ahead of time.

Lastly, we have a lot of great people willing to help on the 24th and that’s amazing but it also makes for tight quarters and sometimes more volunteers than positions.  Please remember to rotate positions and share duties during the event so everyone has a chance to be involved.  I will do my best to point out where we need help but don’t be shy – jump in where ever you see an opening and lend a hand!

This is such an amazing event and we’ve had another extremely positive response this year so I expect there will be lots to do and a bounty to hand out.  We are truly fortunate to be able to have so many great folks step up and make this happen so thank you for your donations, volunteerism and support of this little family event that has grown large enough to serve hundreds in need.  We couldn’t do it without you!!

I am looking forward to hearing from and seeing each of you soon!
