Community Service Needs This Month:
During the month of May we will be collecting bar soap and shampoo to help People Helping People get ready for the summer. They are having other local food drives to help out with food items, so they asked if our group could help with soap and shampoo. We will be collecting wipes for the Republic Pregnancy Resource Center.
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 are on the second 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.
The Republic Pregnancy Resource Center will be having a Food Truck Rodeo Fundraiser on Saturday June 2, from 3:00-6:00. Our group will be doing a group community service project by helping out with this event. If you would like to volunteer, there is a meeting for volunteers Wednesday, May 2 at 5:00 at the Pregnancy Resource Center. Volunteers are needed to help with tickets and money, work under the tent, pass out information, help collect donations, etc. Come and volunteer or even just come to eat from one of the food trucks!
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!
