Pop Up Pantries – Volunteers Needed
We need volunteers to drive to the Howard County Food Bank on Gerwig Lane, fill their cars with pre-packed bags of food and drive them to the Pop Up Pantry location. Remember, all volunteers need to be members of one of our COAD organizations. Some will be drop offs only, so volunteers will start at 9 a.m. and be done by 11 a.m. The others will include staging the bags on tables and overseeing their dispersal to needy area residents, with volunteers picking up the food at 10 a.m. and wrapping no later than 2:30 p.m. Please spread the word!
More details on exactly how things will work onsite, along with contact information, etc., directly to those who sign up. Just click on the Signup Genius link below to choose the food pantry project that works best for you.
They are asking one person to be the "captain" for each location, making sure all cars load up food together at the appointed time, dividing the bags between the cars so that no one is left out. The captain is also responsible for making certain there is no overlap with the other location's pickup and that each gets the correct number of bags. Finally, the captain needs to do their best to enforce social distancing rules so all volunteers remain safe.

2020 Virtual National Student Council Conference
NASSP is inviting ALL Students to Rise Up and Lead. Join schools nationwide July 22–24 for the virtual National Student Council Conference. To ensure the first-ever virtual National Student Council Conference is the best possible experience for students, advisers, and all participants, this year’s dates are shifting to July 22–24. The new time frame allows NatStuCo to carefully craft this unique leadership experience—and it gives your students time to register for this FREE online event. They do not have group registration for this conference—students are welcome to sign up on their own or advisers can register their students individually.
