KATY QUILTERS NEEDS HELP FOR CHARITIES
Calling on all the quilters in the area to help make pillowcases and small blankets. This last
year we donated over 200 pillowcases and small blankets to various charities. The demand
is even higher with all of the families that have lost their homes because of the fires in and
around our area. We need you and we have fabric that has been donated but we need your
hands and time to make someone smile. If you would like to help, call the Katy Quilters,
Shari Medford at 281-635-3000.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: VANTAGE HOSPICE
Vantage Volunteers Needed! Looking to volunteer in a way that makes a difference in people’s
lives? This is it! Our compassionate volunteer team takes an individualized approach to care.
We help provide the best quality of life, for the end of life. This is accomplished through
social interaction, companionship, active listening and activities. In addition, sometimes we
aide and support the family by relieving the caregiver. If interested, contact Tracy Roth at
troth@vantagehospice.com.
FOSTER CHILDREN: PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)
When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. That’s difficult for kids
who have been wards of the state, with necessities arranged by caseworkers with state funds.
Now they’ll have to figure out how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole
month. Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help prepare for
independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long course culminates in an allday
workshop hosted by the National Council for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at
Junior Achievement’s BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. Want
to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that help change lives with hands-on community
service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see www.ncjwhouston.org.
