Description
Do you care about feeding hungry families in our community? If so, Common Heart needs you! Friends and supporters of the local nonprofit will gather at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13 at Casa Rita's, 9727 E. Independence Blvd., in Matthews for a Kick-Off Party to launch a month of fundraising before October's Love in Action Banquet. Known as Boosters, these friends will collect cash and canned goods using social media, text, email and face-to-face interactions with family, friends, coworkers etc. as well as an online mobile app for collecting and tracking donations. Booster team members will bring what they've collected to the 8th annual banquet Friday, Oct. 7 at Weddington United Methodist Church, 13901 Providence Road. This year's goal is to collect $30,000 in cash and pledges – enough to provide a week's worth of groceries to 1,500 families in need! Every $20 raised will provide a week's worth of groceries for one local family! Anyone interested in joining a Booster team can find more information online at http://LoveInActionBanquet.CommonHeart.org.
