Community Service Opportunity with The Salvation Army

Hey All,

     I hope this finds you well and excited for a nice long break! As we are

reaching close to the end of the semester it is important to remember that

there is still a need to volunteer our time to great organizations such as

The Salvation Army.

 

Please read on for a great, fun, opportunity to serve. If interested please Contact

Ashley Kuntz directly, her information is below:

 

I am writing from The Salvation Army where we are eagerly preparing for
Christmas!  I am in need of some additional volunteers in the coming weeks.

 

We will be working next week (the 13th - 18th) to sort and pack our
incoming donations.  We'll work each day from 8:30am-4:00pm, and would
welcome help any time during those days.  We currently need the most help
on Monday, December 13 in the morning, Tuesday December 14 all day, and
Thursday, December 16 in the afternoon.

 

The following week, from the 20-23rd, families will come to us to pick up
donated items.  We'll need volunteers to help organize gifts and help
families with their gifts - it's a fun, festive few days!  We'll be working
from 9:00-4:00 each day.

 

Please let me know if you have any additional
questions or thoughts.  Thanks for your help!

 

Best,
Ashley Kuntz

The MLK Role Models Project

Southern Maine Community College, the University of Southern Maine, and LearningWorks are working together to give students at Reiche and East End schools the chance to explore the importance of role models. Through a variety of crafts and activities, children will ask themselves what it means to be a role model , discussing the particular example of Martin Luther King Jr.
