My Nonprofit Reviews

I am not a born and raised Campbell citizen. I moved into Campbell in 2003 and had a full time second shift job with an International Truck Dealership. Was a community minded person having served 11 years as a volunteer firefighter/ EMS IVT in Maryland. I know what it means to give of oneself for the betterment of the community. It is not a job but a life's passion to want to volunteer.
I met Tim and Kathol by chance while being a member of the Campbell Pride Project, a group of volunteers wanting to better the community. We did work for those in the community and started a community garden where people could reap the harvest if they so needed it. No kudos are needed when you see the smiles generated by giving. In 2012 we formed a group whose soul mission was to collect clothing and necessities for the hurricane Sandy victims and delivered it to them in New York city and locations in New Jersey. Why the lead in to IHSPC you ask. There is a group of volunteers that have dedicated their lives to restoring the things that have been lost or set aside for years. Part of the town history that in the days of American steel production were what made the town great. Now, today there is a group who want to see the past restored and bring back the pride the town once had.
I know for a fact that they spend their own monies trying to do this. They apply for grants but are not always successful. This sets them back but has never swayed them from their mission. Restoring the company homes that were built to house the workers. It is amazing what has been done and is still in process. It will be many years until the volunteers dreams are realized, but saving history is worth the battle. I hope to give them help during the winter months. Volunteering is in my blood and needless to say in my heart. No matter where I am the spirit is in me to help.
I have been gone for the summer and heard there is a mural that has been painted symbolizing the town as it was years ago. I can't wait to get home to see it. My hat is off to Tim and Kathol and all of the volunteers that are making such strides to and for the town. Donations are needed to complete their mission and I hope they can meet their goals and complete their undertaking.
