Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.

Day 129: Toiletries for Veterans
Hello it is Sophia!! Today I collected small shampoo/toiletry items to donate to the homeless and at-risk war veterans through a project sponsored by the VA Boston Healthcare System. Most of these bottles were not filled completely but we filled them with our families existing shampoo. The organization was also accepting toothbrushes, new socks, hair conditioner, body washes and other frequently used bath items. I dropped our little bag off at the Natick Town Hall where there was a donation box. I'm glad that all of these bottles went to use because our family seems to not bring these on our vacations anymore!
