Community Service In Action . . . .

Help those in need and run a food drive at your camp this summer. Contact Nick Wilson, founder of Camps for a Cause — One Can! at wilson5567@yahoo.com to start planning your food drive now for this summer. The program, still in its infancy, ran a successful food drive program last summer through generous donations from camps including ACA-Accredited® camps, Concord Academy Summer Camp, Fenn Summer Camp, and Camp Sewataro.  Plans are in place to enlist many more camps to participate in this worthy cause for the 2009 summer.

"We ask directors to run anywhere from a one-week to eight-week food drive to assist a food bank of their choice," explained Wilson. "Many food bank operators will tell you that the summer months are some of the hardest. My hope is that camp directors will recognize this need and do a small part to help out."
