Group and Individual Activities
Calling those who want to make a difference in a child’s life!  While our Holiday boxes are almost completed, volunteers will be busy as elves packing Power Packs for children and Senior Boxes for the elderly in our community.  Power Packs are bags of food that are given to some area children who usually receive a free or reduced breakfast and lunch at school during the week.  The Power Pack is intended to provide supplemental food to get them through the weekend.  The Senior Box is a box of food to assist many of the elderly on a monthly basis supplement their regular monthly needs.  Both of these programs happen not only during the holidays.  Days leading up to the holidays are always a popular time to volunteer but we are also registering volunteers to help us kick off 2019 when we return to our regular everyday events.  Consider giving the gift that helps others BEFORE and AFTER the holidays and register yourself or group today!
