Vertex Surveying, P.C.

More good news.

The list of corporate sponsorship has grown by one.  Vertex Surveying, P.C. just gave a large cash donation to The Community Reserve.  This kind and generous support will help keep us on task, helping people
who find themselves in need.  Our mission statement says that we help fire victims, storm victims, persons seperated by domestic violence and divorce, and any other person in need because of unforseen events.

The list of donors includes dozens of individuals from the community and now three large gifts from the business sector. #1  C.V.S. gave the 2010 Challenge Grant for Community Involvement
                          #2  Wrap, Pack, and Ship continues to provide overflow space for the inventory
                          #3  Vertex Surveying, P.C. given by Mr. Jason Deckard of Vertex Surveying, P.C.


Thanks to all who donate to this project and all who volunteer their time and energy to keep the project going.

Donation from Wrap, Pack and Ship

The last few days have been very busy for The Community Reserve.
We received two very large donations, one from a former teacher in New Prairie Schools and one from a young family in New Carlisle.  With so many items coming in we needed a storage place.

Andy Spite, the owner of the new business, Wrap, Pack and Ship, donated, that's right, free of charge, storage space in the old Dollar General location.  He has generously given The Community Reserve the ability to put overflow inventory in his old location.

I encourage everyone to patronize Andy's new business. His generosity is making the Reserve much easier to operate.  THANK YOU ANDY SPITE.

Today we had a client receive a large donation from us. She is a young, single Mom who is moving into a new apartment. She and her child needed help.  She received among other things, a complete bed, a couch and recliner, silverware, 2 bar stools, and a large box of bathroom towels and accessories.

Tomorrow, weather permitting, we will help a burnout victim from Walkerton. We have a lot of inventory left and he should find several items for his new home.

We have a few other contacts that we hope will be at The Reserve in the near future.
