Marietta Porch for Schools fundraiser set for March 25-26

The new Marietta Porch for Schools initiative—which purchases healthy snacks for children in local Title 1 schools—will have a fundraiser next weekend at an East Cobb retail business.

Kendra Scott Jewelry at The Avenue East Cobb will be donation a portion of its weekend proceeds to Marietta Porch for Schools, which initially provided snacks for students at Sedalia Park Elementary School.

You can help by shopping at the store on those dates or
shop online at KendraScott.com using the code GIVEBACK-DTGGP.

That giveback code will be active from March 25-28, and at the store Marietta Porch will have a table with treats, goodies and other freebies, volunteer Sue Heavlin tells us.

As we noted back in January, Marietta Porch picks up food in a number of East Cobb and Marietta-area neighborhoods on designated days and sends those donations to the Brumby Elementary School pantry and the Center for Family Resources.

The next pickup date is March 9. For more information contact marietta@porchcommunities.org.
