Caring for America
The NFRW established the Caring for America program to energize and encourage states and clubs to actively support and promote at least one existing community service program, or to initiate a new project to fill an existing need in the community.
The Caring for America program is based on the belief that problems can be solved most effectively through the generosity and combined energies of individual citizens.
Caring for America ideas:
Support a local food bank, support a VA hospital, volunteer at a soup kitchen, participate in an Arbor Day, Parks Appreciation Day, Teach new mother mothering skills, teach English or Citizenship classes, collect donations for Thanksgiving, Christmas, provide constitutions or dictionaries to elementary students, make fleece blankets, hats for infants, children, elderly or homeless, create a thank you program for first responders in your community. Participate in a counter drug program, help at a the underprivileged with toiletries. Send Christmas cards and care packages to our service men and women stationed over seas or to veterans, living locally at the VA hospitals and senior facilities.
Please visit www.justserve.org for local service projects in your area.
Contact WFRW Caring for America Chair Carol Roberts for more information.
Keep track of your volunteer hours. The NFRW presents the Caring for America Awards every two years to recognize successful projects that demonstrate significant value to the community. This awards program is overseen by the NFRW Caring for America Committee.
