BOULWARE CENTER MISSION
Boulware Center Mission’s quest is to alleviate homelessness, one life at a time, through education and services. The vision of the Boulware Center Mission is to become a leading residential rehabilitation center for displaced people by empowering them to achieve self-sufficiency. Ways to volunteer: You could organize a ‘fund raiser’ through your civic organization, church, or other group. You could raise money to purchase something the Mission needs… like washers and dryers, lawn mowers, week eaters, and furniture. You could organize a drive for things the Mission needs like toilet paper and paper towels, bath soap, deodorant, shampoo, razors, shaving cream, over-the-counter medications, plus much, much more. There are many other things that can be collected or purchased for Boulware Mission Inc. as special projects. Individual and Group Volunteers are also invited to ‘adopt’ projects that improve the Mission’s facilities, or provide programs or services for the clients. Here are a few ideas: Paint a room; wallpaper an area; shampoo carpets; build storage buildings; update the playground equipment; build chairs and tables for the “Client Park”; install a computer lab for clients; landscape the grounds; plant flowers in the window boxes; winterize the vehicles; haul off trash; tutor client students; mentor clients by taking them to church, getting to know them and allowing them to get to know you; or prepare and serve a meal.
