Our
Caring Community It never ceases to
amaze us how many ways there are to show care and offer comfort.
Equally amazing is how many people go out of their way and extend their hand.
We
see this among members who take the time to write a note to another member
they haven’t seen in a while. We see it in a member who brings a big
pot of homemade soup for his group to share. And then there are the
students from Belhaven School in Linwood (see above) who baked goodies for
our members to enjoy over coffee and tea. Thank you. This
thoughtfulness really does make a difference. There
are so many examples of this brand of kindness. How about the knitted
scarves and hats that several area church groups have produced to help
members stay warm? And then there are all the
on-going contributions from Women’s Clubs throughout South Jersey. They
have donated many of the items found on our wish list (see our website
“Ways to Help”). We won’t have to buy paper products for a year to
come! And
consider this: Tropicana Casino and Resort delivers fresh food and
healthy snacks to us every month cutting down significantly on our grocery
store runs in advance of Fun Fridays and Super Saturdays. That’s an
in-kind donation that goes right to the heart…and also our bottom line.
We also are the recipient of some wonderful soup and mac and cheese from
MANNA—a sister non-profit that helps feed people who are not feeling well in
our community. Thank you all for
thinking of Gilda’s Club South Jersey. You lift our spirits and give us
hope. It is with gratitude that we celebrate your wonderful spirit of
giving. You help us make Gilda’s Club a warm and welcoming home to
those whose lives have been touched by cancer. Office Space Available!
