Clawson Postal Food Drive Helps Open Hands
Can you help?
Once again this year, the Clawson Postal Workers are collecting food that will be donated to Open Hands Food Pantry.
We receive hundreds of pounds of food for our clients during the food drive.
The collected food will be delivered to St. John's Episcopal Church on the afternoon of Saturday, May 11.
Can you help us receive and sort the food at 4:30 pm on the day of the food drive? More hands on deck make for easier work! And it's fun! We will meet at the Woodward entrance to St. John's (11 Mile and Woodward). All ages are welcome.
Government Shutdown Assistance
Open Hands Food Pantry is expanding our distribution with some additional items in the month of March as a result of a fundraiser for those affected by the government shutdown. Need food and toiletries? Oakland County Residents, if you are a federal employee or were affected by the shutdown, please visit Open Hands at regular hours, and we will accommodate your needs.
Oakland University Partnership
Through a partnership with the Oakland University engineering department this past summer, the Open Hands Garden was the recipient of an automated irrigation system designed by Oakland University engineers as their capstone project.
The automated watering system that was designed, programmed, installed, and calibrated by these Oakland University engineers who donated their time as talents as part of their senior engineering course will ensure that Open Hands Garden plants are always well watered and producing – no matter what the weather!
A very special thank you to all those involved with the project! Your dedication and design supports the garden that feeds Open Hands Pantry clients!
