START TRAINING FOR SPRINGFEST
Get those walking shoes out from the back of your closet and start your training for ACO's annual Springfest Fun Run coming up on May 1, 2004 at Presbyterian Hospital of Allen. And again, for the third year, Presbyterian Hospital of Allen is the Signature Sponsor. And if walking and running isn't your "thing," remember - we need lots of volunteer help!!!
6TH ROUTE ADDED TO MEALS-ON-WHEELS
ACO has begun a 6th Meals-On-Wheels route. We need you to help us fill this new Orange Route, as well as our 5 other routes! If you can volunteer for a route, which takes about an hour of your time per day, please contact Lucretia Wheat at 972-727-9131 to sign up.
HELP US FILL OUR CARE & SHARE CLOSET AT ACO
Many families depend each month on the assistance they get from ACO, including groceries and items from the Care & Share Closet. Items in the Care & Share Closet include snack foods and quick-fix foods for families to take home when they can't get to the Food Pantry, and paper products, baby items and toiletries not available at the Food Pantry. By helping families with these expenses, they can apply their funds to other bills, car payments, etc. You can help by providing items for the closet. Much needed items include: Size 5-6 diapers, toilet tissue, laundry detergent, toothpaste, canned meats, breakfast cereal, paper towels, and plastic grocery sacks!
