talked to us about their mission.

The Welcome Warehouse is a non-profit, faith based organization that provides a warehouse of opportunities, goods and services to those of us in the Dublin area who are temporarily in need.
With current economic conditions the needs in our community have increased and Welcome Warehouse has increased the amount of people served.
 
We will be adopting families again this Christmas based on the recommendations from Welcome Warehouse. Dave Sutherland is the coordinator for this project.

MAP Needs Mattresses

MAP recently sent one of our members this information

Because of the recent economic challenges our country is facing, more and more families are turning to MAP Furniture Bank for help.  Due to local demand, we have a low supply of mattresses for our client families.  Nearly 20 families visit MAP each day and we are struggling to meet their needs. 

Not only do mattresses and other furniture items provide an improved quality of life for our neighbors in need, they can determine if a family stays together.  In Franklin County, children can be removed from their homes if their parents cannot provide a bed.

Donating is Easy!

Welcome Warehouse Invites Donations and Volunteers

Julie Fletcher of Welcome Warehouse talked about the purpose and needs of Welcome Warehouse today.  Welcome Warehouse Inc.  is a non-profit organization that was inspired by a school nurse and a clinic aide along with a group of moms who wanted to help families temporarily in need in the Dublin community.

Welcome Warehouse provides a convenient Dublin location where community members can drive up to drop off gently used clothing and household items. Items are personally and confidentially distributed to families in need on a case-by-case basis. They are also involved with Adopt a Family.

The Neil Kennedy Recovery Center – Understanding the Purpose

Dave Sutherland and Kennedy Center Representatives

We heard from Gary Rossner and Ed O’Reilly of the Neil Kennedy Recovery Center in Dublin (left with Kiwanis President Dave Sutherland). 

The Neil Kennedy Recovery Center offers a uniquely diverse and comprehensive continuum of treatment programs, which allows it to tailor treatment to the individual needs of each patient.

Treatment is designed to be gender and culturally specific and to take into consideration co-occurring diagnosis, drug of choice and history of relapse

Dublin Teen Driving Roadeo

September 21, 2008Brittany Hashimi driving the Skid Car

Have you ever driven a Skid Car or even seen one? How well do you parallel park and do you think you could negotiate a serpentine forwards AND backwards?  Do you know the proper behavior when you are stopped by a law enforcement officer?  Over fifty Dublin teens and some of the volunteer adults put themselves to the test at the Second Annual Dublin Teen Driving Roadeo held on Sunday, September 21, 2008 in the parking lots at the Ashland, Inc offices in Dublin. 
See a Flash Slideshow of the Event. (Flash 8 or higher required)
