KINDNESS HOTLINE

Kristy Unger called Thursday to report a continual act of kindness from six Central High School volunteers who help tutor and mentor students at Franklin Elementary School. The high school students meet with the elementary students Monday through Thursday after school, and have been doing so since February.

The Human Resource Development Center, a day program for developmentally disabled adults, participated in Random Acts of Kindness by planting and will be caring for flowers for the residents of Monticello House in Jackson. We also plan to pick up litter in the Jackson City Park at a later date.

The Good Shepherd Ladies Guild members participated in a number of acts of kindness this week: took a Mother's Day gift to a church fried who is undergoing chemotherapy, purchased flowers for Saxony Village, laminated news articles for church members, purchased ice cream cones for some Lutheran Home residents, visited church members at Chateau Girardeau, took Saxony Village residents out for a meal, helped with bingo games at the Veteran's Home, baked cookies for residents at Jackson Manor and the Lutheran Home, helped an elderly man at Wal-Mart to find items on his wife's shopping list and visited shut-ins.
