Help us create fun, engaging indoor play options for students during bad weather days. Volunteers will assemble classroom game bins, organize equipment, label each bin by classroom, and add encouraging notes for students and teachers. This project promotes movement, teamwork, and connection while supporting students with resources they can enjoy throughout the year. We will also pray over the students and teachers who will benefit from these resources. Lewis & Clark Elementary School Ruther Glen, VA
This Paint The Town Red project is focused on serving our community’s early risers with complimentary grab-and-go breakfasts and beverages at the VRE Brooke train station. Volunteers will hand out grab and go breakfast items like granola bars and fruit, beverages such as energy drinks, juice, and water, and warm smiles to morning DC commuters, creating a moment of connection and encouragement during their busy routines. The goal is to spread positivity, meet people where they are, and show that even small acts of service can make a big impact on someone’s day.
School secretaries and counselors work summer hours when school is not in session. This serve project will create sunshine baskets with snacks and other items (ChapStick, lotion, hand soap for example) to show love and appreciation to those working in the summer. There will be 8 baskets, one for each middle school in Stafford County. Project volunteers will receive a premade basket and an assigned middle school in Stafford County to deliver sunshine to that location. We will meet in the Massad Family YMCA parking lot on Thursday, July 9th at approximately 9:00 am to receive a basket and location for delivery. Please look for a black VW Atlas near the parking lot entrance. I will have my trunk open with the baskets visible to help with meet up location in parking lot.
