Deliveries to May Families

A trailer & 2 SUV's full of donations were shared with  two families and their 4 children coming together into 1 household. Twin beds, and bedding, couch and chair, end tables, computer desk, dishes, glasses, microwave, pots & pans, waterproof mattress pads, bath towels etc...  Thank you for your generosity this month!  They had just moved into the apartment and it was difficult to get any photos, but here are a few of the items we shared.

A mom with 4 children working full time had bedroom

and kitchen furniture for her family....but a caseworker

emailed that her living room was empty....the next day,

you guessed it....a VLC member contacted us with a

couch, loveseat and chair to share! Volunteers with a

trailer picked the items up at the donors and drop them

off at the clients home! Another very happy family!

The May family from Safe Babies Healthy Families (single mom working full time with 3 children) will be receiving the queen frame, towels, bedding for the 10 year old daughter along with handmade quilts for the 2 &  4 year olds! 

May's Project- Spring Yard Clean Up at the Women's Center

A short video presentation was shared with the VLC volunteers about the work  that the Women's Center does in our community before we  began the Spring Yard Clean Up on the grounds.  It was a powerful presentation that I think made us all feel  happy to be able to make things just a little nicer for the women and children that are staying at the Women's Center while  they get back on their feet.  A special thanks to the VLC volunteers who shared their morning weeding, planting, and mulching the beds around the Women's Center and the transitional homes.  I suspect that the volunteers had the same work waiting for them in their own yards, so it was very kind of them all to set aside the time and give a hand!  Everything looked so much nicer than when we had arrived.
