VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR NEEDED A.S.A.P.

October 16, 2011

Jennie needs help.  Well, we’ve all known that for some time…..but, no, she really does need someone to help her with the request coordination.  Let me be more specific.

From time to time, 100 Good Women gets requests for furniture and boy howdy, is this membership quick to donate furniture!  Now Jennie says she can answer, post and coordinate requests all day long.  But….when it comes to actually coordinating the moving of the furniture, she admits it is a weakness.  The really good news is that she has people with trucks!  Yes, actually getting the furniture from point A to point B is not a physical problem.  Its simply an issue of someone contacting the people with the furniture, the people who need the furniture and the people with the trucks.  Just more than poor, poor Jennie can do…..

So.  Who’s up for the challenge??!!  Jennie has all the info on a purty spread sheet just ready for someone to take over this tiny little portion of the requests.

If you are ready for the challenge or have questions, guess who you contact?  JENNIE!!!

Family of 7 needs a van

October 16, 2011

Here is a request we recently received:

"I have recently left an extremely abusive relationship and fought with homelessness.  I have finally been blessed with a beautiful home that is honestly an answered prayer.  I am now in the county, enjoying nature, and the new, beautiful, fresh start but, I am now in need of a vehicle that will be large enough to haul our entire family.  My van was totaled last December.  I bought a small car to commute back and forth to school in Topeka.  Now I need to have the ability of fitting entire household into one vehicle.  We are a family size of 7.  I am not asking for a new vehicle; just one that is decent economically and family oriented.  We will be spending lots of time as a family unit, in the car".

We thought it would be worth a shot to send it out to you all and see what happens. 

Thanks so much for all you do.

Trucks and Drivers Needed
