Patricia Parker Memorial

Patricia was our inspired leader during our CAN-struction build this past year. In her memory, please consider making a contribution to the Food bank of Southeastern Virginia.

For financial contributions, there are three methods for making donations:

1. Write a letter including your mailing address with "In Memory of Patricia Parker", mail it with your check, made out to Food bank of Southeastern Virginia, to 800 Tidewater Drive, Norfolk VA 23510

2. Sign onto the website, http://www.foodbankonline.org/index.html, click on the "Donate Now" button, follow instructions for Giving Cart, making sure to fill in the Dedication or Gift line with "In Memory of Patricia Parker"

3. Call 877-486-4379 to use your Credit card over the phone, specifying that your donation is "In Memory of Patricia Parker"

Also, for those who wish to make a Food donation, I will be picking up a barrel from the Food bank at the end of this week. The barrel will be located in the Knowledge Cafe at the office of HEWV. For the next 40 days, we will have the opportunity to remember Patricia during our grocery shopping. Please review the "top 10" most needed items as listed on the Foodbank website, http://www.foodbankonline.org/top_ten.html

At the conclusion of 40 days, I will deliver the food to the Food bank, and request a record of the dollars and the pounds donated in her memory. This information will be posted to the blog. We will also send a letter with all the details to Patricia's family. I hope you will join me in making a contribution in her memory. Please feel free to email me at jnorgren@hewv.com with any questions.
