DECEMBER:
Virtual Food Drive Recap:
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Virtual Food Drive in November through Feeding America. There are currently more than 54 million people in America facing hunger. For every $1 that was donated, Feeding America will supply 10 meals! It takes a little to make a big difference, and with your help, we were able to blow past our goal of $1,000 and donated over 10,000 meals!

Volunteer Opportunities:
1.) KIDS FOR PEACE
How Many Volunteers needed: Unlimited
Minimum Age: 10
What: Linked By Love
Organization: Kids For Peace
Date: Thursday, November 19, 2020, to Tuesday, December 29, 2020
Time: Any time
Description of Event: Volunteers are needed to make links of recycled/reused paper each with a message of love & hope for the world. The goal is to set a new Guinness World Record by creating a 110+ mile inspirational paper-chain. You can get as creative as you’d like as you share messages of LOVE and HOPE for the world, however, avoid gluing 3-dimensional objects that may create waste/litter when assembled. Use markers, paint, crayons, sharpies, pencils, or pens.
Special Instructions:
The weight of the paper should be thin enough to easily mail/bend and thick enough to create a sturdy link in the paper-chain. Suggested materials: cereal/food boxes, craft paper scraps, brown paper shopping bags, large mailing envelopes. Each strip must be between 11 inches – 18 inches long and 1.5 inches wide. You may make as many links as you’d like. There is no limit per person! Mail Love Links to: Kids for Peace, 1302 Pine Avenue, Carlsbad, CA 92008. Include your return address so they can track where all the links come from. You may fold the links in half if needed to fit in your envelope. DO NOT turn your links into a chain – they will assemble the chain once the “social distancing” mandate is lifted. There is no form necessary to accompany the links. If you’d like to help support Kids for Peace, you can slip in a dollar bill with your links. Donations are not required to participate but are appreciated to help support their programs.
