MARY & MARTHA GUILD COMMUNITY SERVCE PROJECT
The Mary & Martha Guild at St. Dunstan’s has designated Arbor Springs Nursing and Rehab Center for their yearly project. The M & Ms will be partnering with Dream Day Foundation and their Ambassadors, to created wreaths for all the doors at the Center. There are 100 doors and Foundation members will make half of the wreaths. That means we will be responsible for 50 wreaths.

All the wreaths will be the same type and size and in order to have all wreaths the same size, we are asking for donations of $9 for each wreath and the wreaths will be purchased all at the same time. A sign up sheet will be located in the Narthex and an envelope for the donation will be attached. If you write a check, please make payable to Veralyn Lewter or you can Venmo at Veralyn Lewter@gvlewter. Please label your donation Wreaths with your name. The cut off for donations is November 1. The M & Ms will be assembling the wreaths on November 10th at the NONPROFIT CENTER located at 1944 Opelika Road, Auburn, AL. Time to be announced. All are welcome to join us as we assemble 100 wreaths and delivering them to the center to be placed on doors.

The last Thursday of each month is such an exciting time to share baked good and donations. This month, donations were presented to the following organizations:
Golden Wardrobe Experience - The Golden Wardrobe Experience is a pop-up boutique that brings the joy of shopping to older adults in nursing homes who are no longer able to go to stores and shop for themselves. Residents are invited to “shop” for clothing in their favorite colors, styles, and patterns – items that make them feel good and celebrate who they are. This unique experience lifts spirits, raises self-esteem and restores confidence – one outfit at a time. Our donation will help create a meaningful experience that brings dignity, joy and a sense of self back to our older adults.
Accepting the donation is Whitnie Willis, Caroline Quick, Amy Curtis and Kathy McAdory.

Shared Threads - A volunteer program that collects clothes and school supplies for those in need. Shared Threads is a free mobile clothing pop-up. Tents are set up with donated clothing for sale.

KID ONE

For Kid One, the mission is simple: transport children and expectant mothers to necessary health care services. Kid One does serve Lee county. In fact, in 2025 they provided over 135 transports to Lee county children needing transportation to pediatrician appointments, counseling appointments, eye doctor appointments, dentist appointments, treatments for critical and/or chronic illnesses, as well as physical and occupational therapy. Some of the children were transported to service providers right there in Lee county. Others required support at Children’s in Birmingham. They provided support for both the short and long-distance needs. Our donation would specifically help cover the cost of fuel for the transports in Lee County only. It is costing an average of $55 per transport for gas, and with the rising price of fuel right now, any help you can provide would allow us to continue to do our mission. Today, Kid One operates a fleet of 21 vehicles serving 43 counties throughout Alabama. At its inception, Kid One consisted of one man, one van, and a vision for making access to health care a reality for children in need across this state. That vision remains the cornerstone of Kid One today. Accepting the donation for Kid One is Kaylie Rasteger, Relations Coordinator.

CHATTAHOOCHEE VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE/Student Food Pantry

Much like Auburn University, there are students who live on limited resources and from time to time need a little extra help to make their college life easier. Chattahoochee Valley Community College has a food pantry similar to that at Auburn University. Being a small college in our area and easily accessible to college age students and adults, Lee County, Auburn and Opelika are well represented in the student body at Chattahoochee Valley. As with the donation we previously gave to Auburn University Student Food Pantry, our donation will go toward the food pantry at CVCC to purchase non-perishable food items, ready to eat meals as well as personal hygiene products.
