FLINT HILL FARM EDUCATIONAL CENTER, Coopersburg has assembled raised beds that need to be filled with the wonderful composted organic soil we create here at the farm and then planted with flowers & vegetables in preparation for our summer youth program groups to explore the amazing world of growing flowers and vegetables.

GOOD SHEPHERD REHABILITATION NETWORK is spearheading a social media effort – dubbed #PicturesForPatients – that encourages kids (and adults, too) from the Lehigh Valley and beyond to draw, color or paint pictures for Good Shepherd’s adult and pediatric patients and long-term care residents in Allentown and Bethlehem. The goal is to increase positivity and uplift others in this time of uncertainty – plus, give an added boost to the doctors, nurses, therapists and other health-care professionals as they walk through the halls or into rooms. Here are instructions on how people can send pictures: https://www.goodshepherdrehab.org/news/pictures-for-patients/

SHARECARE FAITH IN ACTION, Bethlehem needs volunteers to help with grocery shopping. At this time, we are shopping for the person in need but as we move through the pandemic, we will also need volunteers to take people grocery shopping. All volunteers will have to attend on-line orientation, provide criminal background check, and provide proof of insurance if driving a client. Cloth masks & gloves provided to volunteers. Call Lynn Heiney, 610-867-2177, sharecare8@aol.com

VOLUNTEER CENTER OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY has created a Covid-19 webpage to house information on volunteering in all forms for local nonprofits. Updates are made to www.volunteerlv.org/covid-19 as they are sent into us. Visit us often to see how you can help!
