Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO) is joining thousands across the world who promote #GivingTuesday on Tuesday Nov. 29., according to Daren Lee.
Last year, more than 45,000 organizations in 71 countries came together to celebrate #GivingTuesday. Since its founding in 2012, #GivingTuesday has inspired giving around the world.
"We invite you to support MHCO this season and make a gift in memory or honor of an elder who has been an influence in your life," said Lee.
Mobile Meals of Bluffton is looking for volunteer drivers to deliver meals, according to Erin Schroeder, volunteer coordinator at Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio.
"A driver is needed on the second Thursday and another driver is needed on the fourth Wednesday of each month. Meals are delivered only in the Bluffton community and delivery typically takes 30 minutes," she said.
"Delivering Mobile Meals is a practical, volunteer project that helps people in our community," she added.
Former Bluffton College art professor Judith Greavu had one of her art pieces curated into the exhibition, “100x100 | 100 Sculptors, 100 Sculptures: A Survey of Contemporary Sculpture from the Midwest” at The Ella Sharp Museum in Michigan.
The 100 Sculptors, 100 Sculptures show is the third installment of a 30-year project for curator Ken Thompson in which he undertook a comprehensive look at sculpture being made at this time in the Midwest. The premise for this exhibit was to seek out a diverse group of 100 sculptors that represented as many approaches to sculpture as possible.
