Sample Telephone Script:

Good morning, is Kathy available?

Hi Kathy, This is Jane Smith from St. Luke's parish. Do you have a minute?

I'm just calling to remind you that we're going to be doing a school supply drive this weekend at the parish center to benefit Catholic Charities Emergency.

If you were planning on going to the store to buy things, please consider purchasing a backpack, or maybe a scientific calculator, that's what they really need the most. .

Did you have any questions?

Have a good day!

Sample Mass Voice Mail Script:

Good morning everyone,

This is Jerry Jones, the HR Manager here at 123 Bank. As you walked in this morning, you may have noticed the school supply drive boxes near the door. We're going to be collecting school supplies for Catholic Charities Emergency Services from now until Friday.

About 1,700 children are expected to come to Emergency Services this year looking for back to school supplies..

I ask you, when you're out shopping with your children for back to school items, please grab a few more. The items most needed are posted on the boxes.

I hope you'll give generously.

Thank for your time. Have a good day.
