Brookline Thrives updates & needs, week of Nov 6 - 9

Posted: 11/6/2023 8:55 am

From Sharon Brockmann, Brookline Thrives Manager:

Dear Everyone,

This weekend United Parish was transformed into an amazing, sophisticated venue for the Brookline Food Pantry's Annual Gala. The evening was a great success with dining, socializing, bidding, dancing, and most importantly raising money so we can continue to build Brookline Food Pantry and Thrives to serve the needs of our community. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and the dedicated volunteers who organized and ran the night.

We have many open spots this week that need filling so please sign up if you can. The schools are closed on Friday for Veterans Day so all the volunteer positions have been moved up a day. Packing shifts are on Tuesday and Wednesday for this week. School deliveries are Wednesday/Thursday.

Thank you so much for your flexibility this week,

Yours, Sharon
