Posted June 23, 2010 by OneChange

Project Porchlight is seeking volunteers to help deliver free compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs Friday and Saturday. Families, students and community groups are invited to come out and help distribute energy efficient light bulbs.

On Friday will be the Eastampton Blitz, (5-9 p.m.) at the Eastampton Community School, 1 Student Drive.

Saturday is the Shamong BLITZ (9 a.m.-1 p.m.) Indian Mills United Methodist Church, 89 Indian Mills Road.

Project Porchlight is a grassroots energy efficiency program that encourages people to switch from old fashioned incandescent light bulbs to energy efficient (CFL) bulbs.

Volunteers will receive a T-shirt, button, free training and a bag of CFL bulbs to deliver to the communities of Eastampton and Shamong. After deliveries are completed, volunteers are invited to return to the training site for lunch/dinner, certificates and to share experiences.

Registration is necessary. Contact Vicky Allen at vicky.allen (at) porchlight.org or (609) 392.1650. For more information, visit www.projectporchlight.org
