Subject: How we can help Abbie and her family
From: VP Philanthropy, Becky Hart



To our Wonderful CWC Philanthropy Ladies -
 
Our dear Abbie had a tragic accident while enjoying her hobby of riding her bicycle on  Friday, February 7th and has been in the Hospital since then. Her current status is that she will be moving out of ICU onto the “Progressive Floor” as soon as there is a bed available.  She has a long journey ahead, but we know how strong Abbie is!

We on the Philanthropy Committee have the opportunity to bring the family meals twice a week through Meal Train. What is Meal Train?
There are times in or lives when friends and family ask, "What can I do to help out?" The answer is usually to help them with a meal. When many friends provide support through a meal, Meal Train keeps everyone organized. It is a free and easy meal planning tool.

 
The Meal Train for the Volpini family: https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/kq4qe0
 
You may register online, where it will ask for your email and what you are making, so that the Meal Train can send out a reminder, and so that others can see what you are making.   (It will also ask you to create a password.)  Once you have a date, deliver meals in disposable containers to the family between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. at:
6600 Elmstone Dr., Charlotte, NC 28277
The family will have a cooler set up outside by the back door on the back porch.
Please check out the “View Details” button on the Meal Train Calendar.

The great thing about meal train is that we do NOT need to ring the door bell or try to connect by phone.  We simply drop off a meal, and if you’d like, include a short note.
We want to be as sensitive to the family in this difficult time as possible. 
 
Thank you to all who sign up for Abbie's meal train!  (And a big thank you to Barbara Hambacher,  who set this meal train up!) 

Gratefully, 
Becky Hart
