On July 13 the Convoy of Hope is coming to Legislative Mall in Dover. This effort is being sponsored by several churches in the greater Dover area including Deep Water Church. Mary Ellen and Bob Skuse agreed to lead the grocery segment of this event which will sort, bag and distribute over 30,000 pounds of groceries to needy families.There will also be new shoes distributed, haircuts, outreach sources, medical screenings, clothing, family portraits, a children’s play area and hot dogs will be provided for everyone that day. We anticipate that over 3,000 people from the Dover area will participate that day. This gigantic effort requires many volunteers.
You must pre-register to volunteer and get a T-Shirt for that day. Volunteers must be 12 years of age or older. There will be a rally for volunteers on Friday evening where shirts will be distributed and information distributed. We need volunteers who can arrive at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday to begin to sort and package groceries. We specifically need one or two people who know how to use a pallet jack on both Friday morning and Saturday morning. The actual event takes place beginning at 10:00 am and ends when we run out of people or groceries or at 2:00 whichever comes first. We also specifically need someone with a truck or trailer to be available after the event to transport any leftover groceries to the food bank.
Please visit www.convoyofhope.org/dover for more information and to pre-register to volunteer and be guaranteed a T-Shirt. You can help us make a difference in our community that day. Please help us engage with those who need us most.
