302nd Week - One Can A Week Food Donation Program

Hi Folks,

This week's happenings in photos and graphics.

Bob, the cart and everything else go-to-guy at Sprouts - River Road always gave me a "Hi" when we encountered each other in the front of the store. A couple of weeks ago he gave me a $1.00 donation. "This is a tip. I'm going to give all my tips to you from now on." He then briskly walked away.

Last week Bob approach the display table and this time gave me his trademark smile. "I want to get involved with One Can A Week. Can we set it up at Whole Foods on Oracle?"

On Wednesday we are going to make a cold call at Whole Food together. This is the first time someone has approached me with a definite plan and a definite commitment to do something. Keep watching this space.

See you Sunday,

Peter

Why Peter Norback Needs Sponsors

Every can collected and every penny donated to One Can A Week goes to the Community Food Bank. And for the past 6 years Peter has been using his social security and earning from teaching computer to support the program. And it worked. One Can A Week is expanding in all kinds of new and exciting directions.

To keep up with this growth, Peter needs more revenue to pay for vehicle maintenance, brochures, more cell phone minutes and more promotional materials for meetings with businesses, schools and community organizations.

In keeping with the One Can A Week philosophy, all that is needed is a small donation on a consistent basis. As we have seen, that kind of commitment works wonders over time.

Thank you.

About "One Can A Week"

Tucson neighborhood trying to change the world one can of food at a time.

Imagine if every household in the Miles Neighborhood left a can of food on the porch every Sunday between 11:30 am and 5 pm. Would anything change? Would there be less hunger in Tucson? That’s exactly what Peter Norback, a Miles Neighborhood resident and all of his neighbors are hoping to prove.

Every Sunday most of the Miles neighbors donate at least one can of food which Peter picks up for delivery on Monday to the Community Food Bank.

The One Can A Week food donation program is helping to feed hungry families in Tucson in addition to involving entire neighborhoods in community service.
