This Spring we had many opportunities to make a difference in our communities. Thanks to Ken Swett's carpentry skills we were able to provide Starting Point with brand new bookcases which we filled with their wish list of books. These books will be available for guests as well as group discussion.

We also provide comfort bags to Starting Point for the guests. Filled with personal care items and a note of encouragement these bags help ease the transition for someone exiting a dangerous domestic situation.
Make Way for Readers: Our literacy committee gathered to create packets for local preschoolers to encourage reading and to promote the 1000 books before Kindergarten program that many of our local libraries sponsor. Packets included a cute magnet/bookmark and information for parents about the importance of reading.

Serving food is always a pleasure. We packed bags for end 68 hours of hunger, served breakfast and lunch at the May Habitat for Humanity's women's build and donned our aprons to serve lunch to the many volunteers who assist at the Gibson Senior Center.
