Our drivers will be at your home (or designated pick-up location) Saturday, DECEMBER 9th, between 9am-12:30pm. Please have your red bag out and ready to go by 9:00am. When our drivers take your filled red bag, they'll leave you an empty one for next time. Tax receipts will be emailed out after the pick-up. Things to know about this pick-up:
If you will NOT be participating next Saturday, please be sure to let us know by replying to this email so we don't needlessly stop by your home. These reminders are a bulk mailing, so please disregard it if you've already notified us -- no need to do so again.
If you decide to drop your bag off directly to The Salvation Army's (TSA) food bank instead of having us pick it up on December 9th, please email us to let us know you will not need pick-up at your home. Located at 3001 R Avenue, TSA's main office hours are Mon - Thurs 9am-4pm (closed 12-1pm for lunch). On Thursdays from 4pm-6pm, bags can be dropped off at the food bank's "Family Services" lobby (next to Munro's entrance). Replacement red bags can be found just inside the main office lobby. **With ongoing roundabout construction at the 30th and R Ave intersection, access to the food bank's parking lot must be accessed from the east via T Avenue.**
