It was fun meeting everyone (again) at IST. Things are going well at Whatcom Volunteer Center. I am working on coordinating volunteers for Make a Difference Day on Oct. 23. I have a bunch of furniture set aside for the day but not too many volunteers to deliver it! I am going to spend the day sending out emails and trying to get more people interested in the program.
Other than that I am working on recruiting volunteers to deliver furniture to formerly homeless veterans. Whatcom County recently received federal funds to house homeless veterans. Because of this we have several people moving into housing without furniture. I am focusing on this project for now.
I am also starting to plan my kitchen items drive. I plan for this to occur at the end of November. I think this will be a good opportunity for House 2 Home to get some publicity. I am going to contact local churches and organizations. I plan to leave boxes at these locations for people to drop off kitchen items including cups, plates, bowls, etc.
It is sometimes difficult being a one-woman operation but things seem to be going well right now.
