So now that this blog is up and running, how can you help? That's what you came here to find out right?
I've installed a link on the home page (You will have to be looking at the web version from your mobile devices) that will allow you to sign up and receive a short message with the needs of our community right away. One per day, summarizing all posts if there are multiple. No posts = No emails and definitely never ever any SPAM! #makelovenotspam
We could be looking for volunteers, clothes, canned food or just ask you to take a moment and be strong for someone going through a tough time. ANYTHING that requires us to GIVE just a little bit.
The other area where we'll need your help is keeping an eye out for opportunities we can share! If you hear or see any volunteer opportunities or you see a non-profit in need of specific items, fill out the contact form on the right. So what qualifies you ask?
DOES NOT: Donate $25 to XYZ Charity! (It cannot be an open ended, donation only campaign. While all causes are great, you will get more participation if it is for a specific person, place or event)
DOES NOT: I need to feed my addiction to Snickers bars. (Sorry 'bout your luck, bud.)
DOES: Donate $25 to supply a meal for a hungry senior citizen this holiday season. (Should be supported by an active 501(c)3 organization.)
DOES: My church is looking for volunteers to help feed the homeless this Thanksgiving.
DOES: A friend of mine lost her home in a fire and has 3 small children. They need clothes, food and shelter for 3 weeks.
I hope you will join me in promoting this blog so that we can be aware and learn about all the various causes in the community!
More importantly, as he taught us, "It is better to give, than receive."
Stay tuned,
Kelly
