Senior Volunteers Making a Difference

Our Cedar Village residents continue to make a difference throughout the greater Cincinnati community. Recently, they assembled 200 snack bags for St. Vincent de Paul clients. In early April, they will be making lunch to take to the local Ronald McDonald House to serve to the families who are staying there while their children are patients at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. This has become an annual event and the Cedar Village residents always enjoy visiting with the children and their families and making their lives a little better.

Your donation will help cover some of the costs of the supplies for these special spring projects.

The Cedar Village Chesed Corps continues to give back to the community in many ways.  Their most recent project was on Cedar Village’s Mitzvah Day, December 25^th, when over 100 community volunteers joined them to perform acts of loving kindness.  One special project was creating a beautiful colorful blanket for the granddaughter of Cedar Village’s Director of Nursing.  For several hours they sat around at a table lovingly tying together squares of material.  The finished blanket was sent to Gabby, an eight year old cancer patient.  Future plans for 2014 include visiting Ronald McDonald House, the Center for Respite Care, and other community organizations where they can make a difference and brighten people’s days, just like they brightened Gabby’s day.
