Outreach

We all are still into social distancing, but the need for our outreach programs continues.

We have had a fun summer of demos and interacting with the public.  This is one of the purposes of the Guild. 

We are collecting food for the FOOD BANK.  This is very important since many are about to lose their benefits. Canned foods rich in proteins are a favorite.  If you send pasta, think about also including something to go on/with it.   I will come myself or send someone to pick up your donation.  Call me for a pickup.  You can also take it to a food bank near you.  I will give one ticket for each item for the volunteer drawing at the Holiday party.

SCHOOL 45, THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL This is the season for the back to school supplies sales. If you feel so inclined, pick up some notebooks, pencils, crayons, folders, etc. I’m sure that the students can make use of them.  Don’t forget, they still will need socks, hats, mittens or gloves, scarves, and warm items of clothing.  We will collect these at the Holiday Party.  You will get one ticket of each item you bring.  Store bought items are great.

UB HEALS  The med students from UB go out into the community and help the homeless population around Buffalo.  Winter will soon be here.  We collect diabetic socks, T-shirts, underwear, and warm clothing.   

ROSWELL PARK CANCER INSTITUTE/ WOMEN’S CENTER We are making knitted knockers and port protectors for the Women’s Conference Center at Roswell.  Keep knitting, and we will soon set up a day to stitch port protectors, once we hear from Roswell. We could use a few fat quarters of fabric if you have any.
