Contributed by: NAPSA Neighborhood Get-Togethers: A New Kind Of Community Service (NAPSA) - As Americans look to answer a new kind of call to service, people across the country are rediscovering ways to connect with their community. In just one year, an estimated 60 million Americans volunteered in some capacity, according to the Corporation for National and Community Service. Whether it's through ongoing volunteerism or simply knocking on doors and saying hello, people are finding ways to connect and make a difference.
There are great opportunities to bring people together without having to spend money this summer. For example, more than 6,000 neighborhoods and about 600,000 people have already come together over the past four years as part of the annual Dreyer's/Edy's Slow Churned Neighborhood Salute. The program awards neighborhoods throughout the country with a complimentary doorstep delivery of the company's Slow Churned Light ice cream (with half the fat and 30 percent fewer calories than regular ice cream) along with all the fixings to host a party for up to 100 guests. That means no strain on your budget to give back or any give to your waistline! Nominate your neighborhood to win one of 1,500 block parties by May 29 at Slow Churned.com. There are more block party planning tips available on the Slow Churned Web site throughout the summer.
