Volunteer
and Change the World!
Local
projects at BonaResponds are chosen to help individuals, schools, and
community resources - we want to help people. Cleaning up a
park,
maintaining
hiking trails, building a wheelchair ramp, walking dogs at the SPCA,
and many many other jobs can provide just this kind of help. Have
something in mind? Let us know by suggesting a job.
Recently
a group returned to Rose's house in Salamanca, where we put the
finishing touches on the house painting project that a team started on
an earlier local service day.
School
Supplies for Haiti
We
will be sending a shipment of school supplies to Haiti. Thanks so much
to all who have donated! We are collecting a variety of extra
school supplies, including
notebooks, pens, pencils, markers, crayons, calculators, backpacks, and
other items. School
supplies will be sent to schools and orphanages in Haiti.
School supplies may be dropped off at the following locations:
231 Murphy Building (west side of SBU campus),
Allegany Park and Shop,
Abbott Welding in Olean,
WESB 1490 Radio Station in Bradford,
or call 716-375-2111 to arrange a pickup

A
group traveled to Ohio recently to help following the
recent tornadoes. Working alongside local residents and with other
volunteers, we helped residents by removing debris and trees that were
damaged by the storm.
