PANDEMIC ACTS OF KINDNESS

WLLO is trying to let our members know we are thinking about them with random acts of kindness.  

It started with bouquets of flowers from someone’s yard.  Our member cut, arranged and wrapped up her flowers then drove around town dropping them off. 

The office heard from many of the recipients that it was a gesture kindly received.  Sharing is caring.

Some members received a gift of soap … personal, laundry, disinfectant, and so on.  These were funded by a local charity (members of our Village) to Villages NW and divided among all the Portland Villages.

Several of our members are gifted with the talent of sewing.  Beautiful face masks have been designed, made and distributed to members who were without.  

Recently WLLO Village was invited to participate in distributing excess food donated by local food suppliers.  One member picks up the boxes which usually include milk, cheese, lunch meat, produce, etc.  Then she begins calling members to see what they can use, first come, first served.  

In addition to phone calls and cheerful emails, we are now calling upon our inner artists.  Remember the pet rock phase years ago?  We are gathering and decorating rocks, wrapping in a bag, then zipping by member homes and ringing their doorbell.  Indoors or out, put them where you like them!
