A Special Thanks to Some Special VLC Friends!

A very special thanks to Mike Bickler the owner of Stonewood Storage, who has donated a storage locker to VLC for the Family of the Month project every month for the past 3 years!  In March, when we collecting for 2 families who needed everything, and your generousity poured in, and we ran out of space, allowed us to move into the locker next door for a bit until we could deliver!   



Thanks as well to the LCUCC church who sent a team of volunteers to build new shelving to house the VLC Childrens Free Library at the Hope Center.  VLC is giving over 1,000 books to children EVERY month thanks to your donations!

 
 
 
Thanks to Amy at Lake Country Living, who has found room the first Sunday of every month for the past 3 + years to share our information and needs in the Newspaper so we can reach out to new volunteers...to new garages...to new basements!!
 A Thanks to the Arrowhead Key Club whose volunteers have pitched in to help at so many of the past VLC Drives!
And finally....A Thanks to YOU! 
*To the 35-40 people....who sign up to help with the Project of the Month. 
*To the 10-30 people who contact us with donations of furniture and household items to share with families.         Sharing incredibly beautiful things with courageous families who are starting all over after abuse, violence, abandonment, job loss, home and apartment loss etc...
*To another half dozen people who have pick up trucks, SUV's, or trailers and pick up bigger items at a donors homes and get them to the locker for us.
*To yet another 10-20 people who drop off requested items each month. Gently used items clean, bagged, or boxed, marked and ready to share, and to those who shop sales and purchase new towels, comforters etc....items that make families feel so special...
