Volunteer Now For Holiday Gift Wrapping

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

While the start of the 2009 holiday season is a few weeks away, we’re starting to gather volunteers for Shalom House’s gift wrap booth at the Colonial Park Mall. Volunteering is as easy as 1 - 2 - 3.

  1. Figure out which shift works for you, your friends or your group. Shalom House will be at the Colonial Park Mall from Dec. 12 through Dec. 24 wrapping presents for donations. Shifts begin each day at 11 a.m., last for anywhere from two to four hours, and run no later than 9 p.m.
  2. Let us know which day and time works for you or your team. You can schedule one block of a few hours, reserve an entire day. Because all volunteer shifts are scheduled in advance, you have two ways to contact volunteer coordinator Marsha Fortney:
    1. By phone at 545-6494;
    2. By email
  3. Gather your TEAM, confirm your date with the coordinator, and show up willing to work.

Donations gathered through gift wrapping will go towards serving homeless women and children in the midstate.

Shalom House is a proud member of the United Way of the Capital Region.

Hershey Company Sensory Group Aids Shalom House

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Employees from Hershey’s Sensory Department, a team of experts in tasting and taste perception, recently created a cookbook with all of their favorite recipes. The team sold more than 300 copies of the cookbook and raised $3,000, with all proceeds going to Shalom House, a United Way Capital Region Program Partner. Hershey also donated the cost of printing the cookbook.

Proceeds from the cookbook went to the Shalom House.

“The homeless in our community essentially remain invisible while their situations can be life-threatening,” said Jackie Morrison, Executive Director of Shalom House. “Shalom House deeply appreciates the Sensory team’s considerable effort to produce this special book with its impressive layout and printing donated by The Hershey Company. These efforts translate quickly and directly into a helping hand for some at-risk neighbors.”

The Tech Center held a reception to celebrate the check presentation. At the event, Sheri Celtruda, Manager, Sensory Science and Insights, presented the check to Jackie Morrison. Dan Azzara, Vice President, Global Research and Development, and Jennifer Goss, Manager, Community Relations, also attended the celebration on behalf of Hershey.
