Community Service Needs This Month:
During the month of February we will be collecting crib sheets and wipes for the Republic Pregnancy Resource Center and canned beans and tooth paste for People Helping People.
We also collect Box Tops, Pop Tabs, and Best Choice Labels each month at our meetings. We have given Box Tops to all of the elementary schools and will be starting over this month by giving our Box Tops to Schofield Elementary. The Pop Tabs are turned in to the Ronald McDonald House and the Best Choice Labels are used for our group fundraiser. That money is then used towards our Scholarship Program.
The Republic Pregnancy Resource Center has informed us that they lost their source of diaper wipes, so that will be a great need that our group can help with. Let your friends and family know also because many times people would like to donate, but they just don't know what the needs are. People Helping People likes to be able to put a bar soap in each box that goes out during their distribution days. Bar soaps are relatively inexpensive and another way our group can help meet a need in our community.
Be sure to keep track of your volunteer hours in the community (this now includes almost anything you do in the community as well as if you are watching children while someone else works). We pass around a sign up sheet to record your volunteer hours, cash donations, and number of items donated at each of our meetings, but if you are unable to attend a meeting, email your hours/donations to Kerry Welch at kerrywelch7@gmail.com and she will make sure your hours and donations get recorded and counted. Each group and each region turns in their final yearly counts of volunteer hours, cash donations, and item donations to the state, but no names are ever turned in, so you don't have to worry about your name being associated with what you gave.
This year we are going to encourage everyone to keep up with and turn their donations in on a monthly basis. Thank you for all you do to help serve our community!
