2019-2020<br />

September<br />

Our staff started delivering meals for Mobile Meals, a non-profit organization in<br />

Spartanburg which provides nutritious meals and services to the frail and homebound<br />

citizens in Spartanburg County. Each Monday, two staff members team up and take about<br />

an hour to deliver meals to 7-12 recipients.<br />

In addition to Mobile Meals, our staff held a School Supply Drive for the Hope Center for<br />

Children in Spartanburg County. The Hope Center for Children serves children, parents,<br />

and families in Spartanburg through counseling, offering mental health services, sheltering<br />

children & young adults, and much more. The shelter receives new children on their campus<br />

throughout the year and are always in need of school supplies. As a staff, we collected 333<br />

pencils, 22 3-ring binders, 31 spiral notebooks, 60 packs of filler paper, 134 ink pens, 10<br />

backpacks, 7 calculators, 16 highlighters, 26 folders, 800 index cards, 5 pencil pouches, 3<br />

bottles of glue, and 3 packs of erasers.<br />

october<br />

Our staff will collect personal care items to create care packages for nursing home<br />

residents at a nearby nursing home in Spartanburg.<br />

november/december<br />

We will participate in The Salvation Army’s “Angel Tree” program. This program allows<br />

individuals to “adopt” the child of a family in need and provide Christmas gifts for the child.<br />

National Beta will adopt 15 “Angels” in Spartanburg this Christmas season.<br />
