Letter to the Editor for July 6: 'Angels among us'

They may be people you know, or perhaps, a stranger. These “angels” are called volunteers.

Do yourself a favor — volunteer! Help someone and you will not only bring a smile to their face, but the love and gratitude will spill over into your own life.

I could never mention all the names of my “angels,” but as one who has received such kindness, thank you all!

Volunteers: If you could use a heartwarming experience, please call Volunteers in Action at 541-387-6404. They can and will try to get a volunteer for your own need, or direct you to where to sign up for volunteer opportunities. There are so many in our community who need a hand up.

Thank you VIA “angels.” Blessings to each of you!

Carolyn Princehouse

Editor’s Note: Volunteer opportunities do abound in the community, but they require a steady infusion of new people. Hood River News plans to update the directory “Gorge Giving 2017” and other opportunities for volunteer participation throughout the year. We want to hear from you: send your 50-word-or less description of your non-profit organization, its services, and how people can get involved, to Trisha Walker at twalker@hoodrivernews.com. Be sure to include daytime phone and email address.
