Volunteer Projects
Before & After

The Guest Business Center

The before pictures didn't look all that bad to us, but Girl Scout Liz Wallace saw something different, something better! As her Gold Project, Liz “adopted” a small conference room in our Greensboro Day Center and turned it into a first-class business center for our guest families.

Great thanks to Liz and her team! Our families are encouraged as they search for work and make arrangements for more permanet housing. The room is so lovely, I sometimes go into it just to have my spirits raised!!

Everything you see from the paint, draps, pictures, desks, lamps, chairs, accessories, and computers & printers were the fruit of Liz's labors and that of her team of volunteers. Liz, remind of their names (Liz & Mom on the right!).

A "New" Refrigerator

Our old refrigerator looked very much like the one pictured on the left. You can't tell from a photo, but our old refrigerator just stopped working.

So, a call went out to the Network. Actually, it was an email that went out and made its way to Ron Sydell, who just happened to have a perfectly good refrigerator waiting for our call . . . or email.

Thanks, Ron!! I hooked up the water supply and, presto! cubed ice, crushed ice, and cold water.

It's the nicest refrigerator any of us has ever had!!
