The Lord’s Diner to phone Pittsburg benefactors on evening of Oct. 28

Volunteers from the Pittsburg Noon Rotary Club will call donors on the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 28, to collect donations for The Lord’s Diner in Pittsburg. Director Emily Thome said the funds will pay for meals for the average of 250 people the organization serves each night.

The campaign aims to reach a $150,000 goal, aided by a $50,000 matching gift from a donor. Thome noted that volunteers will call anyone on the Pittsburg donor list who has not yet given in October, though the group intends to avoid calling those who have donated very recently.

Thome encouraged local donors to answer their phones that evening, noting that participants often call people who already recognize them to make the process more personal. New supporters can donate through the organization's website by selecting the Pittsburg location.
