Adopt-A-Shelf
​​2nd Saturday of Every Month
​​
As a community organization, Sustainable Southbury has made a commitment to the Southbury Food Bank to fill a shelf with canned fruit on the 2nd Saturday of each month. We are committed to 40+ items per month of canned fruit and apple sauce, The cans should be 15 oz. size or packages of individual servings.
​
We need additional volunteers to support this very important work we are doing for the Southbury Food Bank.
There are 2 ways in which you can volunteer:
-
Become a Collector: This person 1 week prior to delivery, places a bin at the end of their driveway or on their porch to collect member donations of canned fruit and applesauce. On the 2nd Saturday of the month between 12:00 and 1:00 pm, the Collector delivers the donations to the Food Bank (88 Main St. South, Southbury). With enough volunteers you would only be committing to 1 or 2 times per year.
-
Become a Donator: drop off your canned fruit and applesauce to the designated collector. They will have a bin in their driveway where you leave your donation the week prior to the 2nd Saturday.
