South Bay Chapter of NAIW strongly believes in giving back to the community that we call "home", and have a strong commitment to helping those who need help.
South Bay Chapter of NAIW is a long-time supporter of Rainbow Services, a non-profit network program that seeks to end the cycle of family violence in the home, and offers services and assistance to help keep families safe in the South Bay area.
Our goal is to continue to gather needed items for "'tween' boys & girls" between the ages of 10 - 14 years. Some of the needed items are:
South Bay Chapter of NAIW members continue to gather
gently used and/or new jackets, coats, hoodies, sweaters and other warm
outerwear for Operation: ONE WARM COAT through the month of April
2011.
Economic times have continued to contribute to a need so great - cold weather months are upon us, and so many people
desperately need help with basic needs of keeping warm.
South Bay Chapter members will be accepting
donations of all new and/or slightly used but in good condition coats,
sweaters, jackets for all age groups - men, women, teens, children and
infants.
To date, Chevrolet and partners AT&T, Bass Pro Shops, the Miami Dolphins, Little Ceasars Pizza, NASCAR Driver Dale Earnhart Sr. & NASCAR Hall of Fame, Wells Fargo, Liberty Tax Service, Pro-Flowers, PAK-MAIL, and many more have helped raise more than $7 million and provide more than 90
million minutes of free talk time to the service men and women serving our
country around the globe with the help of people just like you & me by donating their old cell phones. This mobile phone recycling program has helped recycle more than 7.5 million cell
phones since 2004, reducing the impact on our
landfills.
How does this work? Donated cell phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for
each donated phone – enough to provide an hour of talk time to soldiers
abroad. Americans will replace an estimated 130 million cell phones each year, the majority of phones are either
discarded or stuffed in a drawer. Most people don’t realize that the small
sacrifice of donating their unwanted phones can have a tremendous benefit for a
worthy cause like Cell Phones for Soldiers.
Help reunite a soldier with his/her family for a few minutes - donate your old cell phones to this worthy cause.
