We started with an idea of how we can help more, by volunteering & being kinder, more supportive, then a small group got together with a first volunteer project, a second one, then another...and we kept going.
We saw how much it meant to people and how much people really just wanted to help. We have completed approximately 250+ volunteering projects and partnered with over 60 companies, businesses and teams. We have raised awareness for many causes. We have: - Donated, cooked and served thousands of meals at the soup kitchen. - Coordinated food drives on behalf of the soup kitchen and food pantries. - Played live music at the soup kitchen - Helped to custom fit and assist the SPA who gives thousands of bicycle helmets to kids. -Planted & harvested food at the local community farm and delivered to soup kitchens and the hospital cafeteria. - Planted & cleaned up beaches, playgrounds and backyards - Set up & volunteered for charity concerts, walks, zumbathons, motorcycle rides. - Climbed steps, walked miles and gave out water to runners for the American Lung Association & Bennet Cancer Center. - Collected & given, warm blankets, coats and sundries to those in need. - Made & sent thank you cards to veterans. - Visited patients in the military hospital, provided coats & toiletries. - Planted thousands of flags on veterans graves. - Coordinated, collected & donated guitars on behalf of the VA for a music therapy program while raising awareness. - Hosted an Easter egg hunt for children at the homeless shelter. - Assisted at emergency shelters during hurricanes and delivered relief items to victims of hurricanes. - Collected and given gently used, warm winter coats anyone who needs one. To name a few...Join us....share your ideas, talents, skills.... We have helped to bring more kindness and caring support to our towns by encouraging and supporting volunteering locally.
