Community Service Needs This Month:
During the month of May we will be collecting bar soap and shampoo to help People Helping People. Personal hygiene items can be donated directly to PHP (located on Pine St., which is the first street east of downtown) all throughout the summer. They are open every Tuesday morning from 9:00-12:00 noon and once a month on a Saturday morning. Hines Street Pharmacy is also a drop off location for them if you can't make it down the the People Helping People building during the times they are open.
We will be collecting baby wipes to help out the Republic Pregnancy Resource Center. They can always use wipes if you would like to donate something throughout the summer.
We also collect Box Tops, Pop Tabs, and Best Choice Labels each month at our meetings. We recently were able to give Box Tops to two different elementary buildings and are on the third round of providing each elementary building with approximately 50 box tops per school. 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.
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 also recently found out that we can count caring for or driving family members places if they would have had to pay someone to do it in your place. We pass around a sign up sheet at our meetings to record your volunteer hours, cash donations, and number of items donated, 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. Individual recording sheets are also available if you would like to keep track of your donations for tax purposes, etc. Thank you for all you do to help serve our community!
