Try to secure the bag so it won\u2019t blow away; by rolling it up and wedging it between the doorknob and door jamb, tucking it inside an outer screen door or putting it under a doormat. (Whatever works!) Don\u2019t leave a bag if there is a \u201cNo Soliciting\u201d sign and don\u2019t deliver to apartment buildings. Please stay on sidewalks and avoid walking on lawns or through gardens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Food Collection (Saturday, September 28)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On Saturday drive along your route and pick up any bags of food that have been set out on doorsteps. You can start collecting bags after 10:30 am.&nbsp;Please don\u2019t start earlier than 10:30 am.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It works best to have one driver, and 1 or 2 people checking all doorsteps for food bags and loading the vehicle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you are done collection before 1:00 pm.
