Volunteer Highlight: KABOOM! Day of Service On September 11th, 2020, Central Community House participated in a day of service in collaboration with five United Healthcare volunteers. These volunteers helped assemble picnic tables and raised beds for our community gardens, as well as assembled “Rigamajig” play sets, generously donated by KaBOOM! Central is grateful for the hard work they put into this day of service. Central seniors will now be able to garden over the summer, and youth will be able to use the “Rigamajig” play sets for STEM learning in programming, thanks to these individuals and their passion for serving others! Vehicle added for transportation services Central Community House’s transportation staff and infrastructure are critical to the success of programming. They address a vital transportation barrier faced by seniors, providing access to services that allow them to remain independent in their own homes, and participate in programs that reduce isolation, promote health, allow them to volunteer, and are fun. For youth, they ensure safe travel from school to Central programming, and then directly to the front door of their home. In 2020, we were able to upgrade our fleet of vehicles, thanks to the generous support of the Isabelle Ridgway Foundation, by adding a new 15 passenger van to transport seniors. The new van is also handicap accessible, which improves access to our services for those with mobility challenges.
