Volunteers Needed! Grace Place for Children & Families

Grace Place for Children and Families needs 5 summer volunteers to work with small groups of adults who want to learn English one evening a week for only 6 weeks between 6:30 - 8:00. Without volunteers they won’t be able to practice English during the summer. Volunteers have materials, guidance and flexibility to help students learn basic English. NO Spanish or other language needed. Weekly classes start the week of June 8 and end the week of July 20. Contact Ivette Ivette@graceplacenaples.org or or Lilia lilia.cunningham@graceplacenaples.org for more information.

Planned Parenthood Escorts Needed!

We are hoping to add new ESCORTS at the Planned Parenthood Health Clinic in Collier County (Goodlette-Frank Road and Creech Road) on Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., in 2-hour shifts. This is quite urgent during the summer after our SNOWBIRDS leave. Janet Hoffman, our new UUCGN president, has a long history of escorting during the summer. As our new president, she will have many new challenges, and we can help her by taking on some of her other volunteer work alongside her.

As I shared with you last Sunday, I was escorting on Friday at the health center. While walking a patient back to her car under an umbrella, she looked at the protesters and said: "I don’t know which Jesus they pray to, because the one I pray to wash the feet of prostitutes". I have met some of the most amazing people while escorting… Training on Zoom by our longtime volunteer Nancy Harrison will be offered.
