[Peace] Re: [Peace-discuss] Re: [Sandra Ahten Art] food for M ississippi

[Kranich, Kimberlie]

All,

Donations will be taken the following days and times at the old Kay's
Merchandise site on N. Mattis where the truck is parked:

Tuesday, 11am -2pm and 5-8pm
Wed., 11am -2pm and 5-8pm
Thursday, 11am -2pm and 5-8pm

The truck will head to State Line, MS and may also make a stop in Laurel,
MS. I got this info. directly from the driver of the truck last night. This
effort is a combination effort of folks who worked on the truck that went
out last Monday and folks from the CU Area Project and some local black
ministers.  

Truck leaves bright and early Friday and so all donations will stop being
taken at 8pm on Thursday.

Kim

Logistical question - when will there be people there who can take
food donations?  I'm happy to post/send announcements.
