8th Grade and Confirmation I students - your service hours are not due until July 31st. Please feel free to wait until the summer to complete your occasional projects.
Confirmation II Students: here are some ideas for your occasional projects during this time. Please be creative if needed!- Make Thank-You Cards or Thank You Letters for First Responders [Hospital workers (including cleaning crews), Firefighters, Police, etc.]. For Baylor College of Medicine - Mail to: Michelle Kelly; 1977 Butler Blvd E6.100; Houston TX 77030
- Contact a nursing/retirement facility and schedule video chats with residents.
- Find out who in your neighborhood is on the 'front lines' [hospital, fire, police, delivery drivers,etc.] and make them a nice meal with dessert and leave with a 'thank you' note [make sure they are home when delivering!].
- Help a single parent and/or elderly resident in your neighborhood with chores such as mowing and edging the lawn, power washing the driveway, pulling weeds and cleaning landscapped areas, wash exterior doors and windows.
- If you know how to keep yourself safe, CAM is in need of volunteers at the food pantry.
