Join hands with us

• FOR YOUR COMMUNITY •

JOIN HANDS DAY is a day of service which brings adults and youth together for the sake of improving their local community, in big and small ways.

Although officially observed on the first Saturday in May, our branches have leeway as to when to host their Join Hands Day event. The important thing is that you partner with youth and organize a project.

Organizing a Join Hands Day project may seem overwhelming, but it's a lot easier if you stay focused and organized. Just call Judit at 1-800-848-7366, ext. 149, for answers to any questions you may have.

Whatever type of project you decide to do, please remember to celebrate your accomplishments when you're done to reward all your volunteers for their hard work.

Also, remember to share details and photographs of your Join Hands Day project with us. We want to see you and your fellow fraternalists doing good works in the pages of this magazine!

• AGAINST HUNGER •

WPA BRANCHES are once again answering the call to Join Hands Against Hunger. This annual food drive is a great way to positively impact local communities.

Remember that all participating WPA branches can receive reimbursement through the Association's matching funds program. The deadline for returning the necessary forms and receipts to the Home Office is April 3, 2018. Each branch's participation in this effort will be recognized in William Penn Life.

Please contact your local branch officers or our Home Office toll-free at 1-800-848-7366, ext. 149, for more information.

*A note on our Easter Basket program: By now, our branches have completed distributing baskets to those in need. We remind all branches that they can be reimbursed for up to $50 for their participation in WPA's Easter Basket program. The deadline for submitting the form for this program in May 7, 2018.
