VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Spring is right around the corner and, before we know it, the Crocus and Daffodils will be peeking through and reaching for the warmth of the sun.  Spring is a time for growth, for renewing the spirit, and a time to lend a hand to those in need. Habitat for Humanity of Kanawha Putnam County needs volunteers for the Spring and LAPSWV wants to help. LAPSWV is asking for volunteers who are available to be part of a construction crew on one or more Saturdays in March and/or May.  See attached flyer for more information or contact Cindy Kline at nalaliaison@lapswv.org if you have any questions or need more information.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS from LAPSWV

The Holidays are a time to slow down and think about those who are struggling or are less fortunate.  This year LAPSWV wanted to help make a real difference with our charitable contributions.  Therefore, we made monetary contributions to “The Neediest Cases” sponsored by the Charleston Newspapers and to the Huntington City Mission.

From Thanksgiving to Christmas the Charleston Newspapers spotlight specific needs of people in the Charleston and surrounding communities. It can be anything from blankets for their children’s beds to a stove that actually works so a mother can provide a meal for her family.  Things that we take for granted are like gold for these people.

The Huntington City Mission is an organization that provides food, shelter and moral support to those in the Huntington area who are homeless or can’t provide food for their families.  We received a very nice thank you from Reverend Pete Davidson of the Huntington City Mission who said that LAPSWV’s contribution will feed 100 homeless people in the Huntington area.

The Holidays are traditionally a time to give, but it doesn’t end there . . . 

LAPSWV will be gearing up in the Spring to help out with an organization in Huntington called “Dress for Success River Cities,”  which accepts contributions of “gently used clothes,” shoes, and accessories suitable for interviewing purposes.  These items are donated to women who are seeking employment, but don’t have the clothes to wear to the interview.  They also provide career counseling and interviewing tips; and, would love volunteers to help out in those areas.  If you don’t have the time to volunteer your services, surely you have a nice suit hanging in the closet that would be perfect for that life changing interview. Stay tuned and be looking for the announcement in a few months.

As President, and on behalf of the LAPSWV Executive Committee, I want to wish you and yours a very HAPPY HOLIDAY and a PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!
