The Patchogue Medford Robotics Club (Team
329) has coordinated annual food and coat
drives over the years to help individuals
and families in need in our community. This
year our team is aware that more individuals
and families in our community are in need of
assistance. That’s why we were so psyched
when we collected more at our food drives
this year than ever before.
We held a Thanksgiving Food Drive in November 2008 at a
local Waldbaums and a Holiday Food Drive in
December 2008 at a local King Kullen. We
also coordinated a “SOUPer Bowl of Caring”
food drive during January and February of
2009. All of the food and cash we collected
was donated to the
Lutheran Church of Our Savior Food Pantry in
Patchogue. It was used to fill
Holiday Food Baskets for the needy and
provide groceries to people who visited the
food pantry each week. This winter we also
conducted a winter coat and clothing drive.
Members of Team 329, their families and our
school community gave coats and clothing
that we donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters.
The members of Team 329 are proud that we were able to
meet some of the growing needs in our
community in such a big way and we had a
real blast doing it together as a team.

Thank You Letter from our "Souper Bowl"
Team 329 - You guys are so very
awesome!
The Souper Bowl of Caring
donations were delivered to the
Lutheran Church of Our Savior
Food Pantry today. A big thank
you to everyone who
participated.
Our pantry has had four to five
times as many visitors this Fall
and Winter than in recent years.
So many people in our community
have found themselves in need of
assistance this year. The
support of Team 329 with the
November, December and Souper
Bowl food drives has helped to
make it possible for us to keep
up with the increased demand.
Thanks for helping us to feed
our hungry neighbors! We could
not have done it without your
assistance.
- Mrs. Tosques
