Community Relations Committee Needs Your Help

The Dallas HR Community Relations Committee would like to offer you an opportunity to volunteer a little of your time in August to help us as we support the Dallas Life Foundation. The Dallas Life Foundation is a non-profit corporation established to meet the needs of the poor and homeless of the Dallas area. The Foundation provides food, shelter, clothing and counseling to all persons in need, regardless of race, color, creed, sex or age. In addition, they provide counseling and rehabilitation with the goal of returning those they serve to productive roles in society.

We're hoping to obtain your support to help us with one or two projects at the Foundation. If you like kids, here is your chance to give them a little encouragement while assisting them with an Arts and Crafts project. If you prefer to be with older adults, here is an excellent opportunity to brighten their day by participating in a few games of Bingo. At our meeting on August 10th, we will be recruiting volunteers for specific dates and times as well as collecting prizes to be given away to the Senior Citizens who are Bingo winners. Here are a few suggestions of items to bring:

• Toiletries (tooth brushes, tooth paste, hair brushes, combs, lotion, hand wipes, mouth wash, soap, shampoo, etc.) * Socks
• Underwear
• Candy Bars
• Throw blanket
• Slippers

Even if you can't give your time, please consider participating in our "Bingo Prizes" collection. Bring your items with you to our August meeting and drop them in the collection box at the Community Relations table. Your donation will entitle you to be entered in a drawing for a $50 Shell Gas Card. Thanks to Financial Additions for donating this great door prize. If you are going to be unable to attend our August meeting but would like more information on how you can help at Dallas Life, please call our Dallas HR Community Relations Contact - Sherry Hazelton at 972 383 8288.

We continue to need volunteers for both Work Source for Dallas County and Attitudes & Attire. Stop by the Community Relations table at any meeting to sign up, or call the Community Relations contact to find out more about lending your support. For Work Source for Dallas County, call Charlie Austin at 972 317 7839. For Attitudes & Attire, call Debi Dault at 972-398-3553..
