Hey you guys you may or may not know. But recently ive gotten involved with the Ventura County United Way organization. They are a great group that organize and fundraise for many volunteer groups in the area. Some of which include the american red cross ventura, aids project of ventura county, and many many others. they try to get our community involved and have many volunteer opportunities available. One of which is the DAY OF CARING which is a bunch of group projects around ventura county on september 25, 2008 and september 27, 2008. Projects can be done by anyone from all ages. so if you have younger siblings or parents that you want to go, by all means the more the merrier. Also there is a ton of things you can do to impact your community, like paint homeless shelters, sort food for those with none, getting involved with habitat for humanity, and much more. It would mean a lot for me to see a good turn out and i think a good thing for those who want to help people. i mean hey we can make a difference. it may be small at best, but every bit counts. make a difference for ventura county. its really amazing how kindness could infect the world.I visited the link and found many activities that will take place on the 25th and 27th of September (that's a Thursday and a Saturday). I think that this is a great opportunity for us, as Garon explained.
anyways sign up or contact me ill put you in touch with the right people.
ill be sorting food on september 25 from 12-3 pm =) join me! what could it hurt to help someones life and get some volunteer hours and letters of rec for those college students. at any rate no matter what your motive just come out and help please!
