Fredericksburg Virginia Peeps | An Opportunity To Give Back

Comfort Collection for Survivors of Sexual Assault

An opportunity to help RCASA!

Okay, so you know I’m a volunteer for the Rappahannock Council Against Sexual Assault (RCASA),  and remember I told you I work at a coffee shop.  My store likes to do things that give back to the community, so we decided as a store to put together and opportunity to help RCASA!  We are all donating items for RCASA’s hospital bags!

It’s easy.  It’s helpful.  It’s AWESOME!  We need YOUR help!

 

All you have to do is bring a NEW (sorry, no gently used items) piece of clothing to the Southpoint Starbucks for RCASA’s hospital bags. 
RCASA offers free hospital accompaniment services to survivors of sexual assault.  A bag of NEW clothing and minor toiletries is brought to every survivor met at the hospital after an assault.  We will be collecting, organizing and stuffing bags with items needed for these important bags.

 

 
–HERE ARE THE DETAILS–The items we need for these bags are:

T-shirtsLounge, Sweat or, PJ Pants

Socks

Underwear

These items can be for a female or male of any age from 3-103.

The collection begins…TODAY!!  The last day we will be collecting items is April 30th. If you get together with friends, family or, neighbors to collect items as a group and end up with a HUGE HAUL, we can arrange to have someone (ME) pick it up locally.   You can contact me to discuss this.

The site of the collection is:

The SOUTHPOINT Starbuck’s store, located at– 9907 Southpoint Parkway. Fredericksburg, VA 22407  (This is the only store collecting at this time.  Stay posted for updates.)  Here is a map!

Here is a link to Starbucks Community Service Website, I posted a listing there too.

Meditating on Change

Lately I keep coming back to this.  make change.  make change.  make change.

What does that even mean to me?  What do I want it to mean to me?  How can I make change?  Can I make change. ?  Can one person make a difference?

These are the things I've been thinking about.  Now, I'm not talking change the world stuff, I'm thinking more along the lines of making a difference in someone's day, adding to my community in a creative way, or simply surprising and delighting someone.

Maybe those things do change the world.

School has been overwhelming, challenging, and ahhh-mazing at the same time.  My volunteer work is going well and I still love the agency.  Yet, something is missing.  I don't feel like I am well, making change.

I am going to work on this a bit and see how I can make change.

How do you make change. in your own little way?
