Thank you, NVC Community for your participation in our first Project Connect with United Way. We’d love to share with everyone some of the testimonials from this heart filled day.
Being a Guest Guide for United Way’s Project Connect a couple of weeks ago was an experience none of us will soon forget. Each of us, Kelly Griffith, Jeff Miller, Jim and Rosalie Wick and Maureen Geraghty, directly supported people who truly needed to connect with another human being. The guests said that the best part of their day was working with their Guest Guide (that could be you!)
Please consider joining us on March 28th. Yes, it is a weekday but you would only have to take a half day off work – totally worth it 🙂 Here is the link to sign up to volunteer and get more info https://www.signupgenius.com/go/409044fadaf23a7fe3-vsuw or you can sign up at the Concierge Table after service.
Here is the experience of two of our volunteers at the last Project Connect. Each week we will be posting a share from the different volunteers from the February Project Connect.
“We participated in the outreach United Way project. It was a very rewarding experience. As an individual we can’t accomplish a lot, but when we come together we can. We, as a group, helped 250 people find the help they needed from the various agencies that were there. We had the opportunity to meet the people we drive by every day and don’t really see. It sensitized us to the fact that there are many less fortunate people in our community and how lucky we are.
It was only a 5-hour commitment, breakfast and lunch were provided, and when
we left we felt we had done something worthwhile with those hours.”
