SOuL Gives to the Community

COMMUNITY SOuL Gives to the Community

The Members of SOuL

The members of SOuL (Smiling Out Loud), Corte Bella’s ladies charity (a registered 510C3) organization, expressed their continued support for a number of worthy institutions and organizations through the month of November.

TRES Kim Lawson Byrd and SOuL member Linda Wright with SOuL donated shoes

Recognizing the need to “be a good neighbor”, SOuL’s donation (all items donated by the membership) to the Thompson Ranch Elementary School (TRES) of 51 pairs of sports shoes for their helping-hand closet allowed the school to refill their inventory. These shoes are carefully given out to needy students at this Title One school as identified by teachers and staff. Additionally, SOuL provided a complete Thanksgiving Day dinner (turkey and all the fixings) for TRES five families which were selected by the school administration as being those who would not otherwise have a festive meal. All the meal components were direct donations from the SOuL membership. SOuL gives Thompson Ranch Elementary their Turkey Trot treats.

SOuL also provided in-kind donations of a turkey and pies for the school’s annual Turkey Trot event. SOuL is supporting the HART Pantry (Helping At Risk Teens) with 200 donated “hoodie” jackets for the organization to give out to local teenagers (identified by high school guidance counselors as being at risk). These teens will stay warmer during the Arizona winter thanks to the generosity and kindness of the 95 members of SOuL.

HART Pantry with SOuL Member Renee Neuman and Ruth Langford from HART

During the season of gratitude and sharing, SOuL once again provides the greatest examples of those principals through these projects. SOuL will continue to make Corte Bella proud, and that’s a promise. SOuL would like to thank Corte Bella for the wonderful support our organization received at the Corte Bella Fall Marketplace. We appreciate everyone who made a purchase at our booth. Thank you for your continued support to our fund-raising activities.
