About Stacie
We regularly contribute to food and coat drives. When I was teaching, I organized the school wide household item drive to benefit a local assistance agency that helped young families get started.
When it is my turn to host a family get-together, I charge $1 per adult that goes to the food bank. I always included my son in these activities. When he was very small, it became his job to choose toys for new toy drives and help sort his old toys for other donations. As a teen, he volunteered at the local blood bank, and he and I were regular donors.

My 6 year old daughter has always been the “giver” in our family. She is constantly going into her toy box and filling boxes for other kids. She helps us once a month at the Church for their food drive. She may be small but she is such a big help she will walk with older people and help them get food off the table. Just last week she came home and told me that she wants to walk in the Jacob Z. 5k run/walk to help a local boy go to Texas and get treatments for a tumor. When I told her it would be a lot of walking she said she didn’t mind cause she wants him to be able to go to Texas and get the help he needs. Let me tell you I shed a tear. She helps my mom who had surgery on her shoulder pull weeds in the garden and they are now planning on going to the store to pick up veggies to plant. My Gabs has such a huge heart she never asks for anything in return. She helped me get a lot of baby stuff together to donate to mothers who needed it.
I am a volunteer for our local Jr cheerleaders. I have coached for several years and this year i signed up to coach the youngest group but after receiving a call I will now be coaching the Varsity Girls. The Board of Directors requested that I coach the older ones because “I am very responsible and teach them the good values they will need for HS” My oldest daughter will also be walking in the 5k run. The girls this year were hosting a garage sale to raise money for their uniforms so we decided to go around and collect donations for the sale. Anything that is not sold we will be donating to the Vets for heir clothing drive. I try to get my daughters involved as much as possible with volunteering, Unfortunately in our area there is not a very big “need” for it. So I always try to instill in them that when you help people it makes you feel good and gives your life meaning. I would really like to win this so I can give it to my well deserved daughter. Even if we don’t win I know it will not have an effect on her volunteering, She will still be strong!

We regularly donate excess clothing and household items to the local battered women’s shelter. Additionally, I donate a lot of food and health and beauty items to the local food bank (I’m a big couponer, and some of these diaper deals are insane!) as well as pet food to the local animal shelter when I run across a great coupon/sale.
We always make sure and recycle. We have pick up every two weeks and usually have an overflow of bottles, cans, and cardboard. It’s a little thing, but it definitely adds up over time, especially with many families participate.

All of my children have been brought up to volunteer. We all donate food often as well as household items, etc. We donate clothing and toys and toiletries to a local women’s shelter on a regular basis. A tip to get started volunteering is to ask at your church or at a local food pantry. Everyone knows of places that need our help especially in this economy.
