Our Sincere Appreciation - Volunteer Traditions
The Shepherd’s Center of Charlotte thanks our outstanding volunteers and
supporters. It is through this support that we’ve been able to do the following:
Our 357 volunteers drove seniors to their medical appointments more than
360 times; delivered hot meals daily to 45 seniors; helped seniors with odd
jobs around the home; taught classes at Adventures in Learning and our computer
lab; served on committees; presented seminars; assisted in our office;
and served on our board of directors. ♦ The Adventures in Learning Program
was able to enrich the lives of 492 senior students this year through 24 General
Sessions and 47 classes. ♦ This year we have served 290 computer students
in 53 classes with 8 volunteer computer instructors. ♦ 497 seniors traveled
with us to interesting places such as the Reynolda House, Chinqua Penn,
NC Arboretum, Sarah Duke Gardens, Flat Rock Playhouse, Newberry Opera
House and NC wineries. ♦ Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program
(SHIIP) volunteers counseled more than 232 seniors in 2011 to help them
through the Medicare Maze and Prescription Part D Drug Plan.
This voluntary support is needed and appreciated; however, we also need
monetary support to keep these programs vital and thriving. If you have not
already done so, please show your support today by giving a year-end donation
to The Shepherd’s Center of Charlotte, 3115 Providence Rd., Charlotte,
NC 28211. Thank you in advance for your support & generosity.
