Great service project for Mother's Day

What an amazing turn out and feel good project on Thursday May 4 – a big SHOUT OUT to Laurie for hosting us at her home.  We made over 60 gift bags for underprivileged moms and the end product was a gift bag every mom would enjoy.  Thanks for the generous donations of time and supplies. 

Many of you mentioned you hadn’t received the memo with the details for volunteering at the event or donating cash.  Please see the information below.  In addition to the gift bags, we will be donating $500 from our Club to help fund the lunches.  Please let Jennie know if you plan to volunteer next week.  I plan to volunteer as well as Shannon.  Kudos to Cesar Diaz for his efforts every year for this event.

Service Project:
There are many wonderful Mothers in our community who are going through hard times; facing big challenges. Many of them are away from their home or country and many which are single parents and/or unemployed. We would like to help these beautiful women celebrate Mother’s Day by bringing them together for a small retreat to honor them. This event will include a delicious lunch, a musical program, and a gift bag filled with items to pamper themselves.

Selection of the Mothers:
Every single Family we served lives below the poverty level, the organizations we help each year are:
La Casa del Pueblo, South Valley Domestic Violence Shelter, Liberian Women & Refugees, International Rescue Committee, Family Support Center/Life Start Village, Holy Cross Ministries, Utah Health & Human Rights Refugees, The Road Home, House of Hope, Utah Family Center, Utah Domestic Violence Coalition, YWCA, Pregnancy Resource Center, Asian Association of Utah Refugees, Odyssey House, Families in need from the Wasatch, Bryant & Lincoln Schools and Comunidades Unidas
