January Meeting Reminder

Happy Holidays!

Our first meeting of 2015 is coming up this Saturday, January 3.  We will be brainstorming and planning for upcoming projects.

New members are always welcome!  Please e-mail danielleg@thehpalliance.org to get involved.

Food Drive

Our chapter collected food for the Delco Interfaith Food Assistance Network.  DIFAN is a network of churches throughout Delco that also serve as food banks for those in need.

This project was inspired by the HPA's Odds In Our Favor campaign.  Things like food and hunger don't just exist in books and movies.  They are very real issues that effect people in our own community.  Our food drive was just a small thing, but we hope it can help those battling food insecurity in our area.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the food drive!

December Meeting Reminder

Our last meeting of 2014 is coming up this Saturday, December 6.  This is also the deadline for our food drive benefitting the Delco Interfaith Food Assistance Network.  If you have food to donate, please bring it to the meeting or drop it off at one of the participating churches.  Hope to see you on Saturday!

Questions about our food drive or the chapter in general?  Please e-mail danielleg@thehpalliance.org.

November Meeting Notes

Our food drive is now underway!  We are hosting a food drive as part of the HPA's Odds In Our Favor campaign, and the food that we collect will be donated to the Delco Interfaith Food Assistance Network.  This food drive will run until our December meeting on Dec. 6.  If you would like to participate, please e-mail danielleg@thehpalliance.org for more info!
