This is a List of Our Up and Coming Events
Another Community Service Event
DATE: January 11, 2025
TIME: 0800, 8 AM Saturday
LOCATION: 4108 Summerdale Dr in Northdale
Details:
Well be removing the old fence and building a new fence for my neighbors. They are both senior citizens, on a fixed income and experiencing multiple health issues. They are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. He is a veteran and struggles to walk so there's not much he's able to do around the house.
The job will likely occur in 2 parts. On Wednesday, January 8th, will be for removal of the existing wood fencing then measure and set the poles in concrete. The 2nd phase would happen 2-3 days later, (on January 11th, Saturday) where we'll add mulch to all the beds, pressure wash the driveway and sidewalk, remove the Christmas lights and clean up the leaves, all easy jobs. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY event but we ask parents to supervise their children and yes, we encourage them to help as part of the team effort.
Remember, OLAH always brings lunch of Jersey Mike's, served at the end of the event, normally between 11-noon.
FYI: we're negotiating with Mission BBQ to serve lunch at future events!!
If you've never volunteered with Operation LEND A HAND Inc, you're truly missing out on something quite special.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: I'm hoping to recruit approximately 10-12 volunteers to do this job.
It's important to REGISTER BEFORE THE EVENT as I'm planning in advance for any PPE and for your lunch.
If you can join us, and I encourage you to, let me know. PM me for more details
Hi everyone! Who is ready for another Community Service Event???
DATE: June 8, 2024
TIME: 0800 Hrs.
LOCATION: 4209 Windtree Dr (Tampa/Northdale)
TASK: Pressure washing, palm trimming, fence building, yard cleanup
BENEFICIARY: This is the home of Mrs. Kathy Toribio, a widow and military family. Kathy has a difficult story to tell so I’ll keep it in the most basic sense to respect Kathy’s request for privacy. She is the sole wage earner in the home that she shares with a disabled daughter and a special needs granddaughter. Kathy does her absolute best to be a mom and grandmother plus run a household. She has yet to ask anything of me because she wants to do all she can and her spirit to be strong for her family is undeniable. The purpose of OLAH, in this case is to roll-up alongside her and complete some of the home maintenance and repairs she’s not been able to have done. Fortunately, we have Kevin from Allied Aluminum doing the rescreening of her patio and a small number of previous volunteers to OLAH events coming out to support her as well so we are excited about this event!
Operation LEND A HAND is a 501c3 organization and hosts community service events in the Northdale and areas nearby. OLAH has been in business since 2018 and has completed many community service events including the Tunnel to Towers foundation by, in 2020, completing the outside of the home of Sergeant First Class (SFC) Anthony Kenworthy. OLAH exists to support the needs of our local neighbors in a needs-based situation and is 100% a not for profit/IRS approved organization.
**** WE STILL NEED 14 MORE VOLUNTEERS ****
Jersey Mikes subs will be served around 11:30 AM for all volunteers.
