The generous ladies of Sheree’s local volunteer group are back at it again. Sheree’ was able to spend 2 hours of Kronos time on a trip back to Clark Elementary school in a poverty stricken area of the Metroplex. The group had gotten such great participation from members during the School Supply Drive this summer that they went full throttle with efforts to help a couple of families who are in particular need of our donations this holiday season. Clark’s school counselor gave the names of 2 such families.
Last Saturday many of the women in the group donated money while others went shopping for Thanksgiving goodies such as bags of potatoes, boxes of stuffing, cans of gravy and many other trimmings. They also provided decorative plates and napkins to these families along with gift cards to purchase turkeys or any other items they may need or want.
Sheree’ notes: “I can’t tell you how fortunate I feel to not only be associated with such a wonderful group of women but fortunate to have the opportunity to leave my desk for a couple of hours to help with this delivery. We left boxes of goodies for family (A) at the school but was able to hand-deliver the items to family (B) at their home. Once at their home we learned that family (B) was not only made up of a single mother with 5 children but that her oldest teen was very ill. He apparently has a very serious heart condition. I can’t express how deeply this touched all who participated.”
Thanks to Sheree’ for the donation of her time and energy to such a worthy cause.
