This weekend’s fundraising effort had more than 35 chipper volunteers staffing 15 phones at Dean College’s calling center. Working in shifts, they tackled a list of 3,500 households, calling 90 percent of them, said Erin Lynch, the pantry’s development director.
"The volunteers did a great job of reaching out to residents and increasing the awareness for the pantry," Lynch said Monday.
Extra chairs had to be procured because more volunteers arrived for the six-hour telethon than expected. After their shifts ended, some were so locked in that they begged to continue manning the phones.
"People get really excited when a call goes well," Lynch said.
