Current Drive:Diapers for IRCO! All sizes of diapers are needed. Huggies are the preferred brand, but all donations are welcome and appreciated.
Fanladen is located at 1633 SW Alder, just a couple blocks from the stadium. Check specific open hours in the 107IST newsletter or on social media. UPCOMING DRIVES:In May, we will be supporting William Temple House. More information to arrive soon. We will continue to update this list as we get confirmation of other upcoming plans. All information is tentative and subject to change. Please reach out to us if you have questions or ideas. | Volunteer opportunities:Volunteer to serve a meal at Blanchet House! Spots are full, but the waitlist is still open, or sign up to show your interest in a future date. Support Blanchet House through direct service! Please sign up here to serve a meal in the Blanchet House cafe with a group of other supporters. 107IST members will be serving dinner on Monday, April 3, and lunch on Saturday, April 29. This is a limited opportunity, so sign up now to save your space! There’s also an option to let us know you’d be interested in another date in the future. Do you have a local bar or restaurant where you like to watch away games? We're looking for folks to own a partner relationship with their local, including the potential for partnering on remote drop-off locations for donation drives. Contact us if you think this might be something you could do! Interested in joining the 107IST community outreach team? We can always use volunteers to help with logistics and support for community outreach. And we're also looking to grow the committee. Want to know more? Contact us about coming to a meeting to check things out or if you're interested in joining the team. We also hope to start scheduling more in-person volunteer opportunities in the community in 2023! Watch this space and the newsletter for more information. |
