Press Release: Seeds of Recovery Sown Around the County
May 4th Collection Day was a great success!
Thanks to 15 hard-working volunteers and many, many more folks who brought donated goods to the Progress Center, we sorted, packed and delivered a trailer load of clothes, toys and books for the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta in Eau Claire. A few tireless volunteers even returned to Eau Claire the next day to help distribute the donated items to needy Berrien County Hispanic families, and to enjoy the music, food, and camaraderie of the fiesta.
Harbor Country Progress Members Volunteer at “Feed the Children”
President Obama has said, “We are the people we have been waiting for” and has encouraged volunteerism in this special time. As an organization, Harbor Country Progress is committed to supporting the President’s agenda and to do work that benefits our community.
As part of this commitment, 14 members of Harbor Country Progress volunteered at the Feed the Children Distribution center in Elkhart, IN on Tuesday, April 7. The group was organized by HCP member Diane DeWitt. Volunteers worked on an assembly line filling boxes for a shipment sponsored by the Detroit Pistons. In 2 hours we packed 240 boxes of items that will be shipped to 60,000 needy Michigan families.
