Project History
Youth Advisory Council member, Kayla, has been thinking a lot about the children and families who are facing food insecurity during the pandemic. She wanted to make a concerted effort to address the issue head-on and so she reached out to Jen B. and Hannah to share a wonderful idea. Kayla offered to start a food collection in her neighborhood. All of the items collected would then go to stock the food pantry at Person-to-Person. We loved the idea so much that we thought we would get the entire KHK community involved.
Project Information
Process:
In order to collect as much food as possible, we are hoping to engage as many KHK families as possible. This is a wonderful family activity that requires guidance and support from a KHK parent.
- Please distribute the mailbox flyer to everyone in your neighborhood.
- Your neighbors will either drop off the food at the top of your driveway or you can decide to visit each neighbor on a specific day. (You decide which method of collection is best for you. Make sure you wear your facemask and that you have a parent with you.)
- Food must be sorted prior to drop off. Please sort food by category—all canned goods in one bag, pasta/rice in another, etc.
Time frame:
The food drive will run until September 2020, with monthly drop-off car parades
Drive-Thru Car Parade:
4th Thursday of every month at 1:30pm
Person-to-Person
1864 Post Road
Darien, CT 06820
- Once you enter the driveway, you will be directed to a place in the parking lot where you can pull up and pop the trunk. A P2P volunteer will unload the groceries from your car. You will not need to exit the vehicle.
- Our social media assistant will be taking a live video and pictures. Please wear your KHK T-shirt when you drop off the food. We also encourage you to decorate your car (paint, posters). The sky’s the limit! Posters could say something like: “KHK & P2P – Stronger Together”, “KHK – working to address food insecurity”
