Letters to the Editor

Thank you for helping AngelWorx program

To the Editor:

April 19-25 is National Volunteer Week and a perfect time to recognize our local volunteers who share their time, talent and energy while giving back to their community. As coordinator of the Greene County AngelWorx program, I have the privilege of working with some of these individuals and seeing firsthand what a difference they can make in the lives of others.

AngelWorx is sponsored by Vincennes University's Generations program and is designed to promote "ageless communities" where members, young and old, learn to protect and care for one another. The program allows volunteers of all ages and lifestyles the chance to give back to the community. Volunteer "Angels" cultivate personal, one-on-one contact with isolated, homebound older adults or individuals with disabilities called VIPs ("Very Important Pals").

Volunteer angels are asked to contact their VIPs at least twice a month either by phone or letter. Random acts of kindness are also encouraged when possible. Just a simple phone call can make a world of difference in the life of someone confined to their home.

Thanks to my wonderful AngelWorx volunteers and others in our community who volunteer their services, there are angels everywhere.

If you know of someone who would benefit from socialization or if you would like to volunteer as an Angel, please contact me at 847-7360.
