Thank You Chapel Hill and Carrboro!

Thank you so much for wonderful way that you helped Keller Williams make this year’s Red Day food drive such a success! We were able to collect over 800 pounds of food for Table, food that will be distributed to children in our community that are at risk of being hungry on weekends.

Chapel Hill and Carrboro have once again demonstrated a great spirit of giving, and I thank all of you who were a part of it.

It was a lot of fun helping in our group from Keller Williams Chapel Hill, too! The Thursday before Red Day about then of us helped to prepare Table’s front yard for a beautification project. Thank goodness there were strong men there with shovels, because the earth was very hard and it took a lot of work to dig out old plants and weeds. We added topsoil, getting ready for planting on Friday. And – make sure you go by and see – it’s gorgeous!

On Friday, I skipped the planting, because I went around my neighborhood with biodegradable Red Day bags. I visited 91 houses, knocked on doors and dropped off bags to collect from my neighbors. I’m actually a permanent collection point for my area, because Table doesn’t run out of its need for food. If you would like to continue to contribute, or if you haven’t had a chance to take anything by, it’s not too late! Take your food to Keller Williams, 1516 East Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, or to TABLE, 205 West Weaver Street, Carrboro.

Thank you again!
