School Supply Donation to NSPIRE

By: Cheryl Goodwin, CAP

The Municipal Employees Chapter IAAP donated a large amount of school supplies to the Hope House (women and children’s shelter), which is operated by NSPIRE. After learning of this need, we only had a week to gather as many supplies as we could. There were approximately 17 children in residence at that time and they all needed items to start school. The response by our members was amazing!

On July 29, 2011, President Doris Davis, CPS/CAP and Cheryl Goodwin, CAP delivered the school supplies to Gregg Kennard of NSPIRE. He was extremely grateful and expressed his immense gratitude to the members of our organization.

NSPIRE Outreach is working with homeless men and women to help them in cultivating the skills necessary to leave the streets behind for good. Many of these people have experienced homelessness, drug/alcohol abuse, unemployment, physical/emotional abuse and often feel they have nowhere to turn for help. Participants in the program receive assistance with housing, food, employment, physical fitness and health, counseling, continuing education, transportation, personal coaching, spiritual growth. They not only receive assistance with their physical needs, they are given the tools and opportunities to make positive changes in their lives that will help them to become strong, productive and independent people.

NSPIRE is in the process of increasing the level of service provided to the community. For more information on programs and upcoming projects, go to http://www.nspireatlanta.com/#/the-program .

Mother’s Day Community Service Project

Donna Mitchell CPS/CAP — Fri, 20 May 2011 12:17:36 +0000

Thanks to everyone who participated in our recent “Mother’s Day Gift” Community Service Project. Because of you, seven mothers at the HOPE HOUSE received a Mother’s Day gift from their children! The HOPE HOUSE is a program focusing on single women and mothers with children transitioning from domestic violence. The HOPE HOUSE partners with local Domestic Violence shelters to assist clients with the “next steps” including residence, employment, childcare, education, goal setting and much more.

On Friday, May 6, 2011 Donna Mitchell, CPS/CAP and Cheryl Goodwin, CAP delivered to the HOPE HOUSE seven gift bags full of all kind of things from personal items to jewelry and books. Mother’s Day cards were also included for the children to sign before giving the gift to their mother. In an email received from Director Gregg Kennard on Monday, May 9, he advised “all the ladies loved their gift bags and said to tell your group thank you!”

But the gifts didn’t stop with the mothers. The chapter also delivered coffee cups, pens, and tablets donated by the Gwinnett County Fire Department. These items will be used at one of the organization’s homeless shelters. And, a large bag of Beanie Babies was also donated to be given to children at the HOPE HOUSE.

Once again, Municipal Employees Chapter displayed PASSION & PURPOSE!

We will be collecting non-perishable food items for a local food bank. Please bring your can goods and other items to our February & March monthly meeting. After the holidays it is easy to forget those in need. Help us make this a huge success.
