Sharing and Caring

Hospitalized Veterans Boat Ride

Plans and preparations are well under way for this annual event that takes place September 7, 8, 9 ,10 2010.   

For those who will be volunteering at the boat to distribute the duffel bags, you must be at the upper level of the ramp at 2 PM on those dates.   

Mark your calendar: Volunteers will be needed to pack the bags on Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 9:30 AM at the VFW PENN HILLS, 1160 Milltown Road (across from the Community Supermarket).  THIS IS CRITICAL-----WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Once again we are appealing for white crew socks as well as sponsors for the Adopt-a-Vet Program, which helps defray the expense. This provides an opportunity for  "therapeutic recreation" for a veteran to attend the boat ride, perhaps being the only time they are able to be out of their facility. 

You will hear more about the sock drive from Art Fedele and Don McIlrath. 

Sharing and Caring is a non-profit corporation supported by our all--volunteer staff, and is made possible through the contributions and efforts of you and others like you. 

YOUR SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL: Please mark all these dates and information on your schedule as this publication  will be the "ONLY ONE"  you will receive before the boat ride September 7th thru the10th.  

Interested Volunteers for the packing and distribution of bags on the boat ride days should contact me: Sandy Romanelli at 412 781-1113; Please leave your name and phone number.

Thank you in the Spirit of Pioneering.

ATTENTION BUSINESS TRAVELERS & VACATIONERS…….

                        …………….we need your HELP!

Our supply of sample size soap, shampoo, and lotion is critically low.  When you travel (even overnight!), please save the complimentary items provided by the hotels!   You can even ask your friends and family to save them for you too.  The Verizon Garage in Monroeville has generously provided space for our packing operation.  You can now mail the toiletries intra-company to:

 Gerry McLaughlin

c/o Pioneers

508 Old Frankstown Rd

Monroeville, PA

These items are used to pack hygiene kits for the homeless folks and sent to Operation Save-A-Life, Operation Safety Net and Jubilee Kitchen in Pittsburgh.

 These kits are crucial during the winter months when so many of the homeless are in the shelters.

Other items that are always needed to complete the kits are washcloths, toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors, combs and quart size zip lock bags.

 Any contribution is appreciated!                                       THANK YOU!
