Donate Your "Stuff" and Help St. Vincent de Paul
HIT Radio 1550 WHIT encourages you to donate your gently used clothing, furniture and household items to St. Vincent de Paul. Money from sales at SVDP's five area thrift stores (locations here) support their services to those in need, including operation of Dane County's busiest food pantry. If you can't drop off the items, they do offer free home pick-up.
Both donating to and buying from your favorite thrift store are easy ways to embrace the recycle-reuse-reduce lifestyle!
Meals on Wheels Volunteers Needed
HIT Radio 1550 WHIT suggests that if you have extra time, volunteer for Meals on Wheels deliveries through Independent Living (IL). They especially need help on Madison's north and east sides. It only takes an hour to volunteer and can possibly be done on your way home from work. In addition, you can volunteer for as little as once a week or whenever you can fit it into your schedule. It's a neat opportunity to do something with co-workers/friends or with your kids/grandkids as a way to give back.
Or, if Meals on Wheels isn't quite what you're looking to do, there are many volunteer opportunities to help seniors stay independent. Go to Independent Living's website or call (608) 274-7900 for more info. |
