The Community Outreach volunteers participated in a regularly scheduled Food Bank activity in the month of November.

At our monthly activity, we had a total of 16 volunteers, 13 members and 3 spouse’s (Roisin Scimonelli, Nina Wong & Mary Oommen – Thank You!) sleeved apples 🍎, Pears 🍐 & Carrots 🥕.

We will continue to provide Food Barrels 🛢for needed donations, at the upcoming Holiday Gala, December 10th, 2025.

Great Job in filling the barrels at the November luncheon.

Here’s your opportunity to really help the Food Bank for the Holiday season! 😉

Does your spouse, partner or significant other know about the food barrels at the luncheons? I would bet if you looked in your pantries at home, you could come up with a bag of food for the barrel. Extra cans of beans / tuna / chicken / soup / tomato sauce, jars of peanut butter / jelly, boxes of pasta / cereal / crackers, ETC.

The “Spirit of Giving” will shine in the Holiday Season 🎄🎁!

Look for the SIR “Greeters”, the barrels will be nearby. Your contributions are appreciated. 😉

SIR Branch 8 participation in the Community Outreach-SIR Giving Back program demonstrates the heart felt effort of the volunteers support for the community.

“Giving Back’ doesn’t require inordinate commitments of time or talent, you can do what you want, when you can and still reap the rewards of Volunteering.
