Chop Point Running Club is participating in the Turkey Trot, which is a 5K race that raises awareness and food products for the Bath Area Food Bank. We decided to contact Kim and Jon, who are the coordinators, to see if we could collect food early so that it could be distributed with their Thanksgiving Day baskets. They were thrilled with our idea. These are the missing items that they need to make each basket complete. The need this year is great, and they are assembling over 200 baskets.
Canned Sweet Potatoes Macaroni and Cheese
Turkey Gravy Canned Pasta
Boxed Pie Crust Soup (any kind)
Canned Pie Mixes Canned Fruit (no applesauce)
Peanut Butter Bottled Juice
Instant Oatmeal Packets
We are also making homemade apple pies and freezing them to distribute with the baskets. Our goal is to make 25 pies. Jess and I were in Chop Point’s best apple producing tree over the weekend. We will be having the students peel and cut apples on a volunteer basis during the week. If you would like to donate some supplies or your time, we would love the help. We will have a pie assembling party here at Chop Point, so pull out Gramma’s famous crust recipe and grab your rolling pin!
butter flour sugar
pie pans (never to be seen again) apples oatmeal
Food can either be given to the student’s homeroom teacher or dropped off in the box next to the photocopier. Contact Jess or Bethany if you would like to help assemble the pies.
Feel free to join us for the 8:30 race on Thanksgiving Day outside Café Crème
on the corner of Centre and Front Street .
