Franklin Phone-A-Thon to raise money for pantry
Losing a day to the Blizzard of 2013 has not deterred the more than 30 volunteers for today’s Franklin Food Pantry Phone-A-Thon from endeavoring to beat last year’s fundraising total.
Those staffing the phones have a list of more than 3,000 residents to call. "There’s 15 phones, and we have three different shifts," Lynch said, adding that Dean has graciously offered to feed the volunteers.
That makes for a lot of dialing, but also a lot of excitement.
"It’s absolutely fun," Lynch said. "It’s a great way for people to feel like they are making a difference."
And whatever the final amount, she said, "We’re so grateful for all of the community’s support. It’s been wonderful."
