Collaboration of Marshfield Groups Starts NOW Program
Tuesday, September 24th, 2013 -- 8:16 AM
-A new program, Nutrition On Weekends (NOW), has been started through a collaborative effort between Marshfield Area United Way, Saint Vincent de Paul, the School District of Marshfield, Marshfield Clinic Healthy Lifestyles-Marshfield Area Coalition and the Marshfield Area Community Foundation.The NOW program is intended to assist families with providing healthy, easy to prepare nutritional foods for their child during the weekend.
Marshfield Area United Way is looking for individuals to help transfer meals for the new NOW Program. Students at the Alternative High School will be packaging the meal items for children from Madison and Lincoln schools. United Way needs your help in getting the food from St. Vincent de Paul to the two elementary schools. Drivers are asked to deliver the food between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm on any Friday that school is in session throughout the school year.
You can sign up to help out once, once a month or on a weekly basis, if you'd like. This is a great volunteer opportunity for someone looking to help in the community but doesn't have a lot of extra time.
Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
