Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities!

Hello All!


I hope the semester has started out well for everyone!  I am writing because, as you may be aware, SOWSA is continuing its work with Family Promise during the Spring semester and will be asking for members to volunteer for some upcoming events. As things stand at the present moment, volunteers are being sought for the following events during the month of February:
  • Sunday, Feb. 13th: Individuals to assist with "breaking down" furniture items at organization's shelter home, to allow for installation of new carpet.
  • Tuesday, Feb. 15th: Individuals to assist with the reassembling of items
  • Friday, Feb. 18th: Two (2) individuals to stay with the families overnight from 5:00 pm-8:00 am
  • Sunday, Feb. 20th: Two (2) individuals to stay with the families at the day center from 9:30 am-1:00 pm
  • Sunday, Feb. 27th: Two (2) individuals to stay with the families at the day center from 1:00 pm-5:00 pm
We are hoping to have a successful semester working with Family Promise! I hope that you are able to participate in one or more of the events listed!.... It is really a worthy cause!


All the best!!!

***Message from Phoenix Adams, President of SOWSA***

I want to encourage all of you to volunteer some time to this organization that is in great need of our support. I volunteered over Thanksgiving, and it was a great experience. I promise you, if you volunteer, it will be very rewarding.

I believe in this organization and their needs so much, that I am personally going to donate a 50 dollar gift card to the student that logs the most amount of volunteer hours for Family Promise between now and the end of the school year. I will present the gift card at our last SOWSA meeting in April.

Happy Volunteering!!!!

Phoenix Adams
SOWSA, President
