Give a Day Program

[sammielynn]

Anyone else sign-up for the Give a Day - Get a Day promotion? It took forever this morning, site was overloaded. I signed up for us to work in a Habitat Home Store. My DS18 worked in a Goodwill store all summer, this should be a piece of cake for him. I'm up for a free Disney day!

This morning, I spent a good deal of time looking at opportunities for our family. Since I have a 11 and 13 year old, the options are limited. Most had a minimum age of 15 in our area. We would need to travel to Philadelphia to volunteer and I'm not very excited about that. I'll keep checking back as they say opportunities will be added.

no opportunities within 50 miles of us oh well. we were seriously considering washington dc this year anyway.

I'm also waiting for more opportunities to be added in my area.

I just signed myself up to answer phones for our local PBS's pledge drive. There were actually a lot of opportunities in my area! Unfortunately, there weren't any that my children were old enough to help me with that were close enough, and my hubby's going to watch the kids while I do mine. He puts in tons of time with non-profits already, so don't know if he'll do this. But I was just planning on getting the fastpass option (which is for up to 5 people I think) anyway since we have multi-day tickets already! I'm looking forward to this!

I signed all four of us up yesterday -- to make origami or tissue flowers or cards the afternoon of MLK day that will later be delivered to senior care centers. I think it will be fun and worthwhile, and it's not too far from our house.

I haven't signed up for it yet, but I am planning to do so tomorrow.

I think I said this before, but I know the Project Linus rep in our area. She told me that she got over 2000 request in the first two days. She is doing this by herself!

Shazam! That's awesome!

The lady that coordinates our local "branch" said, since the earthquake, they have arranged volunteers to make 600 fleece blankets and they are sending them to Haiti. (The blankets....not the volunteers.) That is a lot to manage when you're used to only having a handful of regular volunteers.

Did my craft today! Coordinator said I should receive my voucher email sometime tomorrow.
