No one from Social Services will contact the sponsor, and they will not receive anything in the mail. In either case sponsors need to plan ahead and act quickly when matched with a case by contacting either the family or the social worker to arrange delivery. If this is a real problem exceptions must be made with the worker. If sponsors do not wish to purchase gift certificates, cash contributions are acceptable although the focus of this program is to have sponsors purchase the food. Donors are not assigned a specific case.
Food goes to nine area nonprofits that feed disadvantaged people.
