Volunteers Give Their Saturday to Serve
On Saturday, February 7, 2009, over 60 volunteers gathered early in the morning to sort medical supplies, package vitamins, and address and fill envelopes for our annual mailings. It is always inspiring to see local community groups and corporations reaching out to their community through service.
In attendance, we had 30 volunteers from Owens & Minor. Owens & Minor, a fortune 500 company, is the nation’s leading distributor of national brand-name medical/surgical supplies to hospitals and integrated health care systems. We also had volunteers from The Interact Club of Los Alamitos High School, Women for World Health, Health Occupation Students of America, Crean Lutheran South High School, Sequoia Middle School, Agape Church, and Student El Roble Intermediate.
Not only do our volunteers help tremendously, but they also learn a lot in the process. Parents bring their children and show them how to give back to their community. High school students see how they can make a difference in their community despite their age. Students and organizations involved in the medical field get hands-on experience sorting medical supplies and learning about their classifications. Companies like Owens & Minor are able to see what happens to the product they donate: it gets shipped all over the world!
Thank you volunteers for another fun-filled Saturday!
