Now that Halloween has come and gone, activities are being focused for Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you would like to help with holiday activities, I can share a few with you.
Cross-Lines Community Outreach is looking to recruit volunteers with muscle to help move boxes and totes full of clothes from storage to a truck and then to the Christmas Store. It is time to get ready for the holidays.
The date volunteers are needed is Monday, Nov. 12. The moving will start at 1 p.m. If interested, please contact Amber at (913) 281-3388 or amber@cross-lines.org.
Center for Hope plans to prepare and serve Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day. They need volunteers to help with this process. The hours are 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. If you would like to help, please contact Marsha at (913) 233-2511.
Pleasant Green Baptist Church is recruiting volunteers to help prepare Thanksgiving meals on Nov. 19, 20, and 21st from 6:30 p.m. - 8 p.m. at the church. Volunteers are also needed to help on Thanksgiving Day with last minute preparations, serving, and clean-up. Volunteer drivers are needed to help deliver the meals.

In the coming weeks, I will share more holiday related volunteer opportunities. You can also check out our Web site at www.unitedway-wyco.org for ways you can GIVE, ADVOCATE & VOLUNTEER.
