Preble Street Resource Center Breakfast Help, March 8

Start at least one person's day off with a smile by participating in our upcoming volunteer event with Preble Street, and give your own day a feel-good jump! We are looking for help with a breakfast event on March 8th. Volunteers are needed to bake blueberry muffins, which can be dropped off the day before. Volunteers are also needed to help in the kitchen for the breakfast run (8 a.m. - 10 a.m.). The location is 252 Oxford Street, Portland.

For more details, and to sign up, please contact Joanna Wilhelm at 778-2082 or institches2334@aol.com. Please RSVP by March 4th so that we know how many muffins will show up, and how many volunteers will be there, too. Looking forward to seeing you there!
