119th Week Update - Miles Neighborhood Food Collection Project

Hi Folks,

Something to Sing About

Every week our poundage is quite healthy. Just look at that tuna resting against the handle and the fruits and vegetables at the foot of the cart. There is even a huge bag of Vet Special Diet dog food.

We collected a total of 318 lbs. of food, including 110 lbs. from The Axis Food Mart. The money we donated amounted to $34.50, $9.50 in cash and a $25.00 check.

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.

If you and your neighborhood would like to start your own One Can A Week program contact:
