The Safer Foundation, Davenport, seeks businesses and organizations to participate in its ninth annual "Safer Sacks" initiative.

To participate, each business designates a contact person who will act as "point person" for lunch orders on Thursday, April 10.

Lunch consists of a croissant sandwich with ham, turkey and cheese, (condiments on the side) chips, cookie and fruit. Cost is $5 per lunch if picked up at The Center, 1411 Brady St., Davenport; or $6 if delivered.

Individuals willing to assist their business/organization/school in being the contact person will have e-mail access, promote the event to co-workers by email, provide order forms, email or fax the order back to The Safer Foundation, then collect money for delivery or pick up.

All money earned through this event goes to The Safer Foundation's Employment Services and Youth Empowerment programs in Moline, Rock Island and Davenport. Last year, The Safer Foundation earned over $10,000 through this annual fundraiser, with all the money staying in the Quad-Cities.

For more than 40 years, The Safer Foundation's mission has focused on reducing recidivism by supporting, through a full spectrum of services, the efforts of people with criminal records to become employed, law-abiding members of the community.

To participate or for more information about "Safer Sacks," contact Sue Davison, QC Manager at sue.davison@saferfoundation.org. or at 563.322.7002. The cut-off date to place orders is March 28th.
