How
You Can Help
There
are many ways...
Volunteer
If
you have a few hours, or a few dollars, coupled with a desire
to help those in need, there are many ways you can us complete
our mission. For instance, if you have time, and are willing
to work hard for no pay but a lot of satisfaction, you can:
- deliver
meals to seniors and handicapped (and their caregivers) who
cannot attend our Sunday dinners.
- assist
with promotion and production of our benefit
concerts and other events
- assist
with gaining sponsorships from local businesses, churches and
other organizations
- if you
are a musician or entertainer, perform at one
of our events
- arrange
an opportunity for our founder, Lane Baldwin, to speak to your
organization
- arrange
a media interview or story on our work
- write letter
to the editor in support of our efforts
- help create
a new project or event
- help create
a relationship between Danville Foodstock and another organization
- help us
with web design, especially on social networking sites
- and that's
just for starters...

Our Wish (List)
We just created
the first version today, so it's far from complete. We will add
to it as quickly as possible. For now, here's our Wish List. If
you can donate any of the following, or know someone who can,
please send
us an email.
|
Ongoing
Needs
|
|
To-go
clamshell boxes -The full meal-sized multi-compartment
boxes work best, but we'll take whatever you have! And we
always need more!
Cups
- Until we have enough reusable cups and glasses, we need
16-oz. plastic cups, and hot cups for coffee and hot tea.
Dixie
Cups - We use the 5-oz. size for
many of our desserts. We use several hundred every meal.
|
Table
covering - The commercial kind,
on a large roll. You'd be amazed how many tables you can
cover with a single roll.
Spices/Seasonings
- The list changes, but includes salt, pepper, sugar, garlic
powder, chili powder, cumin, parsley flakes, and a lot more.
If you'd like to donate to this list, please
send us an email for our current needs.

One-Time
Purchases
|
| Flatware
- We already have some, which we were able to get at 3 for
a dollar. Our goal matches the one above, 250 settings.
Glasses
- We'd actually rather stay away
from glass, as we said earlier. So we're looking for 250-300
hard plastic "glasses." We're talking about the
washable, reusable kind.
Posters
- We'd love to have 200-300 color posters in 11x17 (or 8.5x14)
to promote our dinner series. These would include all dates
for the 2010 dinner series, and would be permanently placed
at strategic business and government assitance locations.
We will also offer them to all churches and spiritual organizations
in the area.
|
High
Chairs and Boosters - For smaller
children
Commercial
Coffee/Tea system - We'd love
to eventually have an airpot system, but if you have old
Bunn in the garage, we can use it!
Metal
folding chairs - We don't care if they're scratched
up, as long as they are in working order, and won't collapse
under a normal person's weight.
Serving
Trays and Stands
- We could use up to a dozen large serving trays, and
up to six folding tray stands.
|
Donate
In addition
to the list above, we sincerely appreciate any donations to help
fund our work. All donations go to our programs and expenses.
No one in Danville Foodstock makes a penny for their work.
The Danville
Foodstock team continues to contribute individually to make up
for any shortfall in expenses. However, in order to expand our
dinner series to feed more people in need (and, so far, we've
only scratched the surface), as well as our other projects, we
can sure use some help. Believe us when we tell you that no donation
is too small. We will greatfully accept whatever you can offer.
Learn More
If you'd like
to learn more about how you can help Danville Foodstock, or to
coordinate a donation, please send
us an email. Regardless of how you can help, thank you very
much for your support.
