Please keep the suggestions rolling! I’m loving it! Keep in mind 9/11. Please spread the word and go out and serve!

There are a lot of residents there then just may need someone to come and say hello and landed here to listen or sit and play a game with them. A lot of times the activities director will let you Jose ice cream social or something of that nature which is always something that’s nice to put a smile on someone’s face just another suggestion to add to the list there is also assisted living facilities for veterans which it’s a very good honored to be able to go and put a smile on the faces of the men and women who served our country as well

>> Service Suggestion- Regional Braille Challenge competitions
>> 
>> Each year the East Florida Braille Challenge is held in Orlando at the beginning of February. Since this is a single-day event, I am at the venue from 7-cj Am to 4-cj Pm when it ends. Volunteers are needed to sight guide, register and greet guests and participants, serve food, and conduct workshops. The contests in each region are conducted by Teacher's of the Visually Impaired. The scorekeepers who score the tests are braille transcribers who are certified through the Library of Congress. This is a great volunteer opportunity. Check with your local braille agency to see if they host this event.

Offer any specific skills you may have, such as copyediting, data entry, or even cooking, and you can be of great value to these organizations. Check out FoodPantries.org to search for one near you.
