Hello to the best volunteers out there! Spring has sprung, which means it is time for our Spring Fund Drive. This also means it is time for our stapling parties! Please gather 'round, fabulous volunteers, and join us in good conversation, snacks, and a lot of stapling. For those of you who are unfamiliar with our stapling parties, these events are a time in which several volunteers gather together and staple donation ask envelopes to our newspaper. These parties are a huge help with bringing in donations for our organization, and I can't thank those of you who helped during our Winter Fund Drive enough! Please see below for the dates and let me know if you're interested. We're asking that everyone commit to at least two hour shifts each. MAY
- Thursday, 5/23, 10 AM - 4 PM (urgent: our most pressing date!)
- Friday, 5/24, 10 AM - 4 PM
- Thursday, 6/13, 10 AM - 4 PM

Mission Statement
Street Roots creates income opportunities for people experiencing homelessness and poverty by producing a newspaper and other media that are catalysts for individual and social change.
