Summertime means a lot of things. Students are out of school and families are anxious to keep them productively occupied. We've had a lot of questions lately about volunteering. One option is to volunteer at the warehouse as a family.  Volunteers under 15 need to be accompanied by an adult. Our Saturday volunteer hours are 9-11am and weekday hours are 9:30-12pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. We schedule all volunteers to make sure we have enough space. The warehouse is not air conditioned so if you are looking for a more comfortable volunteer experience there are other ways to encourage giving back to the community as a family. Children and families can hold lemonade stands with the proceeds to benefit The Wish Project and our clients. Another option could be to have a yard sale or car wash and donate all or a portion of the proceeds to Wish. Last summer several children held Lemonade stands and were able to experience first hand the pride in helping others. It's never too early to teach children to see past their neighborhood and learn about the needs of others less fortunate. Eight year old Tyler Nolan, pictured left, donated toiletries for fire families with $100 he received for his First Communion. No donation is too small to help others and impact our community. If you are interested in scheduling a volunteer date or getting more details, email  [email protected] and she would be happy to give you more information.  

Thank you for helping us serve our needy families.
