Embrace, Enhance Enterprise

Event By Jeanine Rowe Roberts

The Oscar Club of Enterprise would like to encourage citizens from across the community come together for Enterprise Day of Service. Join forces with your family, friends, civic clubs, youth groups, church or business and try one of these many day of service ideas!

1. Host a Teddy Bear and Friends Drive
Collect stuffed animals then donate to the local police or fire stations. A teddy bear can bring comfort to children in times of distress.

2. Make Hygiene Kits for the Homeless
Homeless people struggle to obtain basic necessities to wash their hands and brush their teeth. Organize your group to collect hotel samples or purchase travel-sized items from a dollar store to complete the kits.

3. Collect socks, shaving cream, handkerchiefs, razors, lotion, large print books, magazines..

4. Green Thumbs Unite
Work with community leaders to adopt a monument. Plant a community garden around it and monitor your plants throughout the year.

5. Remember Service Men & Women
Send care packages to deployed troops, veterans, and wounded soldiers. Write a letter of gratitude for their service, and include snack and personal care items. Check out Operation Gratitude and Give 2 The Troops organizations to learn where to send your care packages.

6. Best Face Forward
Collect unused make-up, perfume, and other cosmetics for a center for abused women.

7. Adopt a Senior
Buy a plant or a flower and give to a senior citizen.. Help them around their house.. Have a picnic outside their house..

8. Bring A Smile to the Homeless
Fill a pair of new socks with granola bars and bottles of water to give to homeless men and women you pass on the street.

9. Pitch In For the Elderly
Organize your group to rake leaves, shovel snow, or do housework for elderly neighbors. If you don’t have an elderly neighbor, consider a senior citizens neighborhood community.

10. Adopt A Park
Decide on a park to adopt. Grab some trash bags and pick up trash to beautify the park. Getting outside to care for the environment is a great way spend a few hours.

These are just a few of the ideas. If you see a need in the community, please let me know and I can organize a team to work on it.
