   Voices is proud to be taking part in the north suburban community Paint-A-Thon, sponsored by the Volunteer Center in Arlington Heights.  This will make our 17th year participating, and still remains one of our favorite events. The Paint-A-Thon is a unique community partnership designed to paint the  homes owned and occupied by persons with limited financial resources who are 60 years of age or older and/or have a permanent disability, and are unable to do the work themselves. The paint project utilizes the support of many community organizations and, most importantly, the time and effort contributed by many volunteers.  

     In many ways, a Paint-A-Thon is like an old-fashioned barn raising. The spirit is still the same...neighbors helping neighbors, people working together to enhance their community. Through in-kind donations and considerable volunteer support, the costs and administrative needs are kept to a minimum. The end result is that the lives of the homeowners, volunteers and supporters have been enriched by this wonderful act of generosity, and the community's appearance is improved.  We’re looking to fill our volunteer list, so if you’re interested in helping, please  Email Jeff@stvoices.org or call the Voices Hotline at 847-358-6485 so we can make proper arrangements for transportation. Lunch will also be provided.  To be of service to those in need is one of the most gratifying acts of kindness one can perform.  Please consider donating some of you time and effort to make an impactful difference in the lives of those less fortunate.

   Please help us reach our goal of collecting 500 non-perishable items for our local food pantry.  We've placed a collection bin in the Teen Room, and every little bit helps.  For so many people within our own community, the fact is, opening the refrigerator or kitchen cabinets to find little or no food is a reality.  With so many of us blessed to truly have so much, please consider sharing some of that with those who need it most.
