Service Stay-cation

Are your friends going to exotic places for Spring break and you have to stay home?  Are you depressed that you have no money for that plane ticket to sun and sand?  Do you think Spring Break will be boring?
Never fear, we have a solution to cheer you up and make this spring break memorable. This Spring Break you have an opportunity to build self-esteem, develop problem solving skills, gain experience as you build a resume, and learn the value of helping others.
Volunteer in the Cedar Valley!
Some possibilities include:
·        Teach games, dances, or sports to youth at the Boys and Girls Club
·        Entertain residents at a local nursing home or at Country View
·        Cook and serve a meal at the Salvation Army or the Catholic Worker House
·        Stock shelves at the Northeast Iowa Food Bank
·        Clean up litter in your neighborhood
·        Make play-dough and take it to a local pre-school
·        Do data entry or type for a local non-profit
These are but a few suggestions.  Give us a call at 272-2087 and we will gladly assist you in finding that perfect volunteer opportunity. 
Remember, a sun tan will fade quickly. Your contribution to making the community a better place will last a long time in the hearts and mind of those you help.
