Altrusa MHC and Martinsville City Police Connecting Through Books!

Altrusa International of Martinsville/Henry Cty.

Altrusa MHC members Dianne Vann, Nancy Bryant, Diane Dixon, and Linda Dorr, continued our service project in collaboration with the Martinsville City Police. We were excited to deliver a collection of reading bags to Sergeant Justin Willard, C.O.P. at the Martinsville City Police, marking a contribution to the Martinsville City Police Community Outreach Program.

These reading bags will be placed in police squad cars, serving as a valuable resource during critical moments. When our dedicated officers respond to crisis situations, they’ll be equipped with not only the tools they need but also the power to comfort children through the joy of reading.

Together, we are fostering positive connections, promoting literacy, and enhancing community well-being. 🌟📖 Thank you for being a part of this meaningful journey! 🤝💙 #AltrusaMHC #MartinsvillePolice #CommunityOutreach #LiteracyMatters #MakingADifference 🚔📚

Caring Connections - Altrusa MHC Provides Comfort Bags

Altrusa International of Martinsville-Henry County, Inc.

Members of Altrusa International MHC came together to assemble bags containing children’s books and coloring books with crayons. These thoughtful bags are intended to be provided to the Martinsville City Police Department, ensuring they have them readily available in squad cars during emergency calls involving children. This initiative aims to bring comfort and distraction to children in challenging situations, fostering a positive interaction between law enforcement and the community. #leadingtoabettercommunity

Valentines At Spencer Penn Centre

ALTRUSA INTERNATIONAL OF MARTINSVILLE/HENRY COUNTY VA

Our Saturday kicked off at the Hylton Library within the Spencer-Penn Centre, and it was a morning filled with fun activities including Storytime, delightful Crafts, and an engaging February Bingo, all sponsored the Spencer-Penn Centre, MHC Is For Book Lovers, MHC Partners for Children and Altrusa MHC!

Children heard stories, played a lively round of February Bingo, and got creative by decorating their own picture frames with cherished moments captured inside. As a sweet bonus, each child went home with a Valentine’s-themed book to add to their personal collection.

This activity is part of Altrusa MHC’s ongoing literacy project, encouraging children to “read a book, take a book, love a book, and share a book.” A heartfelt thank you to our invaluable partners—the Spencer-Penn Centre, MHC Is For Book Lovers, and MHC Partners for Children—for making this activity possible.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to our community’s love for reading. Let us continue spreading the joy of literacy together!
