Going Green at Project G.R.A.C.E.

Wed, 13 Oct 2010 07:00:00 EST

We know that "Going Green" sounds like the politically-correct thing to do lately but at Project G.R.A.C.E. it really means that we can save a lot of time and money as well as paper.

We estimate that by going green we can save over 8,400 sheets of paper, a lot of volunteer and staff time getting the newsletters ready to mail and a lot of money in postage. We'd like to be able to devote that saved time and money as well as staff and volunteer hours and efforts to our main purpose which is helping those in our community that need it.

Look What One Email Can Do....

Collect so much food that the Scarborough Backpack Program will have enough supplies to fill more than 60 backpacks that go home with students who are in need of extra food for weekends, school vacations and summer break.

Scarborough resident Kelly Murphy sent out an email to her local contacts letting everyone know that she was collecting for April vacation backpacks. The response she received was overwhelming. In her words, "it was beyond my wildest dreams." Car loads of food was collected in just under two weeks. The picture at right represents about half of the food collected.

Bravo to everyone who donated. It made a huge difference in our community. For more information on the Backpack Program and to donate, go to: www.scarborough.k12.me.us and scroll to the bottom of the home page.
