Volunteer with Person to Person
Saturday, April 30 from 12-2PM
Let’s work together to help P2P prepare for their annual Postal Food Drive! Sign up HERE to attach flyers to the shopping bags that our postal carriers will deliver to every Darien home. Once the bags are filled with non-perishable food items, they will be collected by USPS and delivered to P2P to stock the food pantry with essentials for our neighbors in need. Must bring your own stapler!
