READING, Jan. 9, 2014 – Sen. Judy Schwank will join members of the Oley American Legion Post 878 at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, Jan. 11, to help make sandwiches as part of the group’s “Sandwiches for the Homeless” program.
The Oley Legion makes sandwiches every month for lunch bags that are delivered to homeless people in the Reading area. Many recipients are veterans. Each lunch bag contains two sandwiches, a cup of soup, a bag of pretzels and an apple.
The program operates with donations and Sen. Schwank will be making a small financial contribution when she helps make the sandwiches Saturday morning. The Oley American Legion Post 878 uses the cash donations, as well as offerings of gift cards and food, to help pay for the program.
Public donations may be mailed to the Oley American Legion Post 878, P.O. Box 200, Oley, PA 19547.
Media coverage is welcomed.
