Annual

Meeting to celebrate Neighbors Helping Neighbors

By Bill Schmidt

Join us for Dummerston Cares’ annual meeting on Thursday, September. 21, from 5-6 p.m. It will be in the downstairs meeting room of the Dummerston Congregational Church in Dummerston Center.

Hear how we help to make kindness flow in and through the town. We’ll tell stories of how some Cares’ volunteers perhaps helped you and you can share how you helped others. This is a way to celebrate our town through neighbors helping neighbors. Refreshments and childcare will be provided.

Dummerston Cares’ Chores Corps program is in need of volunteers. Since the winding down of COVID we have had a return of requests for help with minor home repairs and household chores.

Things volunteers do include such things as yard cleanup, hanging pictures or mirrors, changing light bulbs, stacking firewood, and cleaning up clutter. These are chores that people feel they can’t do themselves or afford to pay someone to do them.

Folks who want to help their neighbors in these or other ways can join Cares’ Chores Corps team of volunteers. Call Cares’ Message Line at 257-5800 and leave your contact information to learn more about Chores Corps and what it means to be a Chores Corps volunteer.
