Calling all soccer players and fans! The Goals for Goals Crossbar Challenge is happening on Saturday, June 7, 2–4 PM at the Olé Monroe Outdoor Facility! This event is organized by students Alexa Pino and Julia Nunes, who want to use their love for soccer to make a difference ⚽️❤️ All proceeds will go to Operation Hope, a nonprofit helping provide meals and support to those who need it most. Here’s how it works: when you donate, you’ll get to take shots at the crossbar — the more shots you buy, the more raffle tickets you earn. And if you hit the crossbar, you’ll score 5 bonus raffle tickets to boost your chances of winning awesome prizes like gift cards, baskets, or even a flatscreen TV! We’ll also have a food truck on site, and those proceeds will go toward the cause, too. Come by Olé Monroe the day of the event to register. Come out, bring your friends, and let’s make a difference — one goal at a time! ⚽️🥅 Thanks to these remarkable young ladies, Alexa and Julia, for applying their passion to our cause to end hunger and homelessness!

While we are so fortunate to be the recipient of the recent postal food drive and a few upcoming drives, we are still lacking in quite a few staples for our clients. We're really in need of full size toiletries, see list below. Please take a moment to consider helping our neighbors in need. Regular sized items (not bulk) appreciated. Drop off at our pantry M-F, 9am-4:30pm at 636 Old Post Road; there’s a drop off area to the left of the building. Please ring the bell and someone will greet you. Please do not leave donations unattended and when the office is closed. Monetary donations are always welcome so we can purchase exactly what we need for our clients, donate at https://bit.ly/donate-oh.
