Albany's Annual Book Drive |
| |
|
Albany Altusa's annual book
drive collected over 2,000 books, both fiction and
non-fiction in connection with Make a Difference Day.
Large print books and books on tape were donated from the
local library and collection boxes were placed in banks and
stores.
The books were distributed to the Senior Center and
Retirement Homes. Member reorganized the Senior Center
Library, sorting and adding new books. A new project with
the Senior Center sent books to each "Meals on Wheels"
recipient on delivery day. Members were given a preferences
of seniors on the route and added books or tapes to each
delivery. |

| Happy Shoppers at Altrusa Kidzshop |
|
| |
|
 |
| Over 260 low income children met in August to
participate in Altrusa's annual Kidzshop at Heritage Mall. Each
child was given from $125 to $145 dollars in gift
cards for new school clothes and shoes. |
|
 |
| A volunteer shopper
accompanies the children. Children are chosen by school
counselors and teachers, the Linn Benton Housing Authority
and Boys & Girls Club members. They also receive free
Membership in the boys & Girls Club and a backpack loaded
with school supplies and toiletries. A local credit union
provides donuts, muffins and drinks after shopping, while
parents wait in the food court with free coffee. Our goal of
$30,000 for the event was raised with grants coming from
businesses and Altrusa as well as many individual donations.
Altrusa is recognized in the community for Kidzshop, but the
best comes from the happy smiles from the kids. |
