When Pigs Fly bakes fresh bread daily at their new bakery at 1 Merrimack Street (across from the Firehouse) in Newburyport, MA. The bakery would like to donate leftover bread to local agencies at the end of each day. They are seeking volunteers to pick up the bread when the store closes and then deliver to designated locations the next morning. Evening pickups are at 7 pm Sunday through Thursday and 8 pm on Saturday and Sunday. They take about 20 minutes and involve carrying bags of bread (about 25 pounds each) to your car. There are typically two next-day delivery locations in Newburyport and/or surrounding towns. Delivery times are usually in the 8-9 am range so bread can be ready for clients.
Can you sign up to pick up and deliver bread one day a week, one day a month or as an alternate when someone’s schedule gets overloaded? What a difference it will make for people in need to have this nutritious bread.

Mission Statement
Pennies for Poverty is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization whose mission is to ease the impact of poverty on the people of Greater Newburyport by endorsing models of assistance that promote dignity, supporting allied organizations both financially and collaboratively, increasing community awareness of poverty through citizen education, and inspiring and encouraging volunteerism.
Description
Pennies for Poverty, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was founded in 2008 with the belief that if everyone in the community does a little to help those in need, we can substantially reduce poverty and improve the well being of all members of the community. The original mantra for the organization was "2 Cents, 2 Cans, 2 Hours, Together." That is, everyone should put aside 2 cents a day and 2 cans a week and volunteer 2 hours a month so that together we reduce poverty.
