      <title>Porch Food Drive (05/11/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="https://www.greaterfirstcolony.org/resources/Pictures/porch.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Calling all First Colony Neighbors!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#080809" face="Segoe UI Historic, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;It's that time again. It's time for PORCH. This occurs on the second Monday of every month. Please read more for details.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;
*** We don't go to houses for pick up unless notified. ***&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PORCH is a volunteer-led, grassroots hunger relief organization that addresses food insecurity. &amp;nbsp;It helps to ensure that local food pantries are stocked with items most needed each month. &amp;nbsp;Recently, the PORCH Chapter in Williamsburg has been supporting local food pantries such as the Williamsburg House of Mercy, FISH and Grove Christian Outreach Center.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please place non-perishable food or hygiene items on your porch (or end of driveway) on the morning of &lt;strong&gt;the second Monday of the month&lt;/strong&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Please do this by 9AM.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" face="-apple-system, HelveticaNeue"&gt;All nonperishables are welcome, but&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" face="-apple-system, HelveticaNeue"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" face="-apple-system, HelveticaNeue"&gt;here is their list of requests&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(8, 8, 9); font-family: &amp;quot;Segoe UI Historic&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Cold Cereals (especially “kids" sweet cereals)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Canned Soups (chicken noodle, tomato)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Tomato products (diced, sauce, etc.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Brownie mix, cake mix, icing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Pancake Mix / Syrup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Canned Chicken, Tuna &amp;amp; Beef Stew&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Peanut butter and Jelly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Canned Vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, corn)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Canned fruit (peaches, pears, fruit cocktail)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Rice (1lb. bags &amp;amp; 2lb. bags)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#212121"&gt;We kindly ask that you treat our clients with dignity and respect when donating. &lt;font&gt;No open or&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;expired food,&amp;nbsp;please. No used items.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#373737"&gt;&lt;font color="#212121" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Thank you so much for helping your neighbors in need.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#080809" face="inherit"&gt;&lt;span&gt;If you plan to donate, please let me know, as we can't go to every PORCH in the neighborhood checking for donations. We will come to collect your donations if&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#080809" face="inherit"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;you email:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:firstcolonyporch@gmail.com" data-linkindex="0" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#0078D4"&gt;firstcolonyporch@gmail.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PLEASE LET ME KNOW in your email if you prefer we pick up the donation at the end of the driveway or porch, etc., along with your address. &amp;nbsp;Also, you can let us know if you plan to donate monthly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For those of you who prefer to drop off the donation yourself (rather than having us come to your porch), you may go to the First Colony Park Picnic Pavilion&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;the second Monday of the month&amp;nbsp;between 8AM and 10:15AM&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="https://porchcommunities.org/williamsburg" target="_blank"&gt;https://porchcommunities.org/williamsburg&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks, First Colony!&amp;nbsp; Let's come together and help.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Amber DeVore&lt;br&gt;
First Colony Neighborhood Coordinator&lt;/p&gt;</description>
