Dear Friends,

You know those 137 plastic grocery bags you've got balled up inside each other in a cupboard somewhere? We want them! The Scotlandville Mobile Pantry can use them to bring fresh fruit and produce to residents in the largest food desert in Baton Rouge.

So gather up your bags and bring them either to the next Mobile Pantry event this Saturday (details below) or to the next TBR lunch on September 25th.

Three announcements ...

First, the next Together Baton Rouge lunch of faith and community leaders is on Tuesday, September 25th, 12pm, at First United Methodist Church, 930 North Blvd. If you are planning to attend and have not yet confirmed, please RSVP by this Thursday by clicking the image below or by visiting tbrlunch.eventbrite.com. (We'll collect the plastic grocery bags at the beginning of the lunch.)

Second, the next Scotlandville Mobile Pantry, a project of Together Baton Rouge and the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank, will be this Saturday, September 22nd, at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, 1622 77th Avenue. Over the first few Mobile Pantries, we've delivered 117,800 pounds of fresh fruit and produce to 3,063 families with 10,154 people!

If you want to volunteer at the Mobile Pantry this Saturday, please email Edgar Cage at edgarcage@att.net. Please plan to arrive at 8:15am. Food distribution runs from 9:30am until about 11:30am or while supplies last. You can bring plastic grocery bags to the Pantry.

Finally, the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention study, postponed due to Hurricane Isaac, has been rescheduled for October 23rd - 27th. The schedule of dates and locations is at the end of this email. Once the website is live to reschedule appointments, we'll send that out so everyone can register.

We look forward to the fellowship!

Faithfully,

Together Baton Rouge
