Hi Everyone,
Wanted to let you know that the Mayor is starting another year in her New Year’s Eve Run for Food! Donations will be accepted from now through December 30 at City Hall, the Library and the Partnership. Volunteers from the Partnership will come pick up our items every week. Would love your help spreading the word to friends, neighbors and city staff.
Mayor Paula Dierenfeld is at it again! She has issued another challenge to Johnston residents this holiday season. The Mayor will run one mile (beginning on New Year’s Eve) for every bag of food, personal items, or $10 donated to the Johnston Partnership December 1 through 30. The community delivered in a tremendous fashion last year, and the Mayor ended up running 316 miles. Thank you so much for your generosity. Let’s see if we can top 316 bags this year! If you wish to make a monetary donation, they can be made right online at johnstonpartnership.org.
Suggested Donation Items:
Personal Items – Toilet paper, laundry detergent, Kleenex, deodorant, shampoo and diapers.
Food Items – Fresh, nutritious produce, and healthy, non-perishable, unexpired food items.
Monetary donations are always welcome, as the food pantry is able to purchase needed items in bulk and cheaper than the rest of the public can buy the same items. Your dollar is stretched further when given to the Johnston Partnership.
The Mayor has created a video and you can find it here! It is also on our Facebook and Twitter page, so feel free to share it. Throughout the month, new videos of her will be posted too.
Thank you,
Janet
