Help feed other people

I'm a member of the Freedom Project, a YP group in Cincinnati that focuses on service and diversity. We're hosting a food and clothing drive for Give Back Cincinnati. Helping other people is food for the soul, right?

Freedom Project sponsors food and clothing drive
for Give Back Cincinnati

CINCINNATI -- Fall is fast approaching, and with cooler weather comes an ideal opportunity to clean out the closet and the pantry -- and feel good about it in the process.

The Freedom Project is taking charge of Give Back Cincinnati’s annual food and clothing drive on Saturday, Oct. 20, and these ambitious young professionals want to surpass the usual 30,000 pounds collected for St. Vincent de Paul.
Want to help? It’s easy. Bring your clothing and nonperishable food items to the convenient locations listed below.
Three of the drop-off sites are at Kroger stores, which makes it easy to multitask. Pick up a few cans or boxes while you’re doing your grocery shopping.

When: Saturday, October 20, 2007; 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: Fountain Square, in downtown Cincinnati, along with these Kroger stores: Hyde Park (3760 Paxton Ave.), Queen City (4777 Kenard Ave.) and Western Hills (6150 Glenway Ave.)

These YPs like to have fun, too, so donors can play Cincinnati’s favorite game, cornhole, along with other fun activities after dropping off their donations.
At this time of year, missions like St. Vincent de Paul are in need of donations more than ever. These goods will be distributed throughout the area and ensure warm bodies and full bellies.

The Freedom Project is a young professionals group that represents a collaboration between Give Back Cincinnati and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center’s FreedomYP group. The Freedom Project provides a unique opportunity to actively volunteer in the community while building relationships with people of diverse backgrounds.
Give Back Cincinnati started in December 2000 with a small group of friends that wanted to give back to their community. Since its first event, that small group of friends has grown to over 2,400 members (representing 400 companies) and continues to provide young people in Cincinnati with an outlet where they can have fun, meet people, and give back to their community all at the same time.

Give Back Cincinnati is a federally recognized nonprofit organization led by our board of directors, with our membership playing key roles in leading and executing projects throughout the year.
