We hosted a Nonprofit Fair, along with the Church of the Redeemer United Church of Christ, on Saturday, September 16th on the front lawn at 23500 Center Ridge Rd in Westlake. It is not always easy for people to connect with new volunteer opportunities, so we would like to create a space to make these connections. It is great place to showcase what nonprofit organizations do for our community. We hope to make this an annual event.
We are highly involved with the Cleveland Scrappers, a baseball team for the blind and visually impaired. We assist with transportation of players, assisting at practices, and provide a variety of services to support them at tournaments and the Beepball World Series, which took place in Norman, Oklahoma in 2023.
We honored Earth Day in April 2023 with the Lake Erie Huddle, the Church of the Redeemer UCC, and City of Westlake Service Department. We cleaned up litter along seven different locations in Westlake.
From 2015 - 2021 we distributed 295 Safety Buckets each to the North Olmsted and Westlake Public Schools. The below items were included in each bucket for each classroom and other areas in the schools. Our sincere thanks to all who donated items and/or funds to purchase the materials.
