312th Week - One Can A Week Food Donation Program

Hi Folks,

This Week's Happenings in photos and graphics.

Six years in, the Miles Neighborhood

One Can A Week program still stands strong

As the economy improved, the average food donation poundage declined from 201 lbs. to 180 lbs. per week in 2014, but the cash donations held steady. However, the most amazing aspect of the program is people are still deeply engaged even after 312 straight week of participation.

From January 2009 to now the food donations to the Community Food Bank amount to 69,226.5 lbs. The cash totals $15,835.03. We're taking care of thousands upon thousands of hungry parents and their kids, that's for sure.

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.
