Food Drive for Des Moines Area Religious Council Food Pantry
Submitted by PTPIGYSD on Wed, 04/15/2009 - 11:25
In celebration of Global Youth Service Day 2009, the West Des Moines, Iowa (Dowling Catholic High School) Student Chapter of People to People International will be participating in a project to benefit the community. The chapter plans to volunteer at a local Hy-Vee grocery store and encourage customers to purchase pre-packaged bags of food to be donated to a local organization. These bags of food will cost $5 and will be given to the Des Moines Area Religious Council Food Pantry. The chapter asks for the community’s support of its projects and adult adviser Diane Thierer remarks, “Due to the economic downturn our local food pantries are in dire need of food and money.†For more information and to support this project, please contact Thierer at dthierer@dowling.pvt.k12.ia.us.

Post Evaluation Reminder
Dear Host Sites,
I wanted to share that Keli and I met Tuesday morning to start writing the statewide GYSD post-event evaluation report. When we looked at data submitted by Iowa GYSD host sites, we realized data from many of the GYSD projects were not yet posted. As you know, it is important for us to be able to report as accurately as possible to Youth Service America the far-reaching benefits of Iowa’s first GYSD weekend.
The statewide report is due to YSA next Thursday, May 28th. Consequently, if you have not posted your post-event evaluation you are asked to please report your host site(s) data by this Friday, May 22nd. As you know, the post-event SurveyMonkey evaluation form can be linked to via the ICEA website at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=YcNAykJ4YRntCkQcl_2brAyA_3d_3d
We are also in need of photographs from Iowa’s GYSD weekend. If you have photographs from your GYSD event(s), please send them to Michael at moj@iastate.edu.
Thanking you in advance for your assistance!
All the best,
Michael O. Johnston
