Community Service Needs This Month:
During the month of August we are focusing on having a diaper wipe drive and a baby sock drive for the Republic Pregnancy Resource Center. Please bring those
items to the Back to School BBQ/Picnic August 29.
We are not specifically collecting anything for People Helping People this month, but if you wish to donate food or anything else, they are open on Tuesday mornings from 9:00-12:00 or you may leave a donation at the Hines Street Pharmacy.
We also collect Box Tops, Pop Tabs, and Best Choice Labels each month at our meetings. (See the note on the front page about the changes to Box Tops). At the end of the school year we gave approximately 50 Box Tops to three different elementary buildings. 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!
