The
Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley sponsored a morning of service for families on
November 23 from 9 – 11 a.m. in the Community Center at Orange Elementary
School in Waterloo. Families learned the joy of serving others as they made
fleece blankets for children in hospitals, frosted cookies for the Salvation
Army, wrote letters to veterans, made bird feeders for the elderly, and created
pet toys for the Humane Society. Attendees were also asked bring a gently used
book to donate to a shelter for families.
The
event was successful. Jean Seeland, Program Coordinator at the Volunteer Center
of Cedar Valley commented, "I'm a firm believer that children learn best
at an early age. Hopefully, they'll continue volunteering when they're adults."
