Great American CleanUP 4/21/13

Good Morning,

Yesterday, we had four associates from English Creek #601 at the Community Food Bank. That organization has been a vital link for providing aid and relief to the shore towns.

Also yesterday, a group of employees from Absecon and a Coca-Cola associate went to the aid of a department manager from #633. His home was on the bay in Tuckerton and had been condemned on Monday. They completed the heartbreaking task of emptying his home of his furniture and his memories.

Today we will have at least eight volunteers at the Food Bank from 1-4 PM. Also, we have a team of four or five colleagues helping at the Shore Fellowship Church in Egg Harbor Township.....this church has also been instrumental in providing relief to the area.

A truly heartwarming aspect of this aid is that many times the ones providing the aid do not even know the people that are receiving the help. They are volunteering their time, talents, and resources to provide relief wherever they can.

It is great to see that people get ready for helping each other in difficult and tough times.

Thank You to all!!

Good Morning,
Today we have four associates from English Creek volunteering in the Community Food Bank in Egg Harbor Township. We also have six associates from various stores helping an associate from Absecon. His house was condemned yesterday.

We have a few needs for tomorrow.

We need as many people as possible for the following:

Community Food Bank (Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township) from 1-4 PM....Their phone number is 383-8843

We have also received a request for aid from Shore Fellowship Church in Egg Harbor Township. (They have done a remarkable amount of work for the storm recovery). Their phone number is 412-1814. They need help from 1-8pm. Whatever portion of those hours an associate can volunteer would be great!

We would like to spread the resources between these two locations tomorrow. (There is a noreaster coming tomorrow and we are going to stay off the barrier islands).

Please email Judy/Cathy and Harry the names and times that associates can help!!! Please be sure to send them with ShopRite shirts to wear. We want to show that we are there as a group to help.

The amount of employees that have expressed an interest in helping is inspiring....thank you to all!!!

Please get back to me as soon as you can.

Thanks,

Harry Baumgartner
