Alternative prom block party group donates proceeds to Company 2 CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
In June, the committee that planned the Powhatan High School alternate prom block party donated the excess funds raised for the event to the Huguenot Volunteer Fire Station. The $500 donation was made from funds raised for the Powhatan Community Prom in honor of the Senior Class of 2021 and Amery Lecik, whose late father Mike Lecik served with the fire station.

Drivers for Ride Assist Services were recognized on July 14 when team members from Chick-fil-A at Westchester Commons washed their cars, shown above. Several local seniors also attended.

Nathan Boehm, trainee director for the Westchester Chick-fil-A, said the restaurant tries to do service project in the local communities it serves. The projects not only help the community but encourage their team members, many of whom are teenagers, to develop skills and an appreciation for helping others. He and six team members completed this project. “Something like this service is to help them understand that giving is a vital part of who they are. It raises their value with a company – whoever they
are working for – if they have a heart of giving,” he said. Other recent projects have included tending the garden of a senior who recently had back surgery or holding lunches where they sit and talk to seniors. All projects are voluntary and done outside of work hours, he said. Ryan Buffa, 18, of Powhatan was one of the team members who participated in the event. He has been working for the restaurant about a year and this was his first project with Chick-fil-A. He said it was a good chance to chip in and do something and he liked knowing he was do-
ing something nice for the volunteer drivers. “I think it was a good thing to do for those people who have these cars and are doing a good thing by helping seniors out. It was good to help them out,” he said. Arlene Booker of Powhatan was one of the drivers who had her vehicle washed. Booker has been a volunteer driver for a year and a half and got involved
because she wanted to serve the community however she could. “It is a great way to meet people. The people I have given rides to are very appreciative and it is a good time. I have given medical rides. I have taken people to the grocery store and the drug store. They love the program,” she said. Booker said she appreciated having her car
washed and the thanks, but she was actually the most excited to talk with the other drivers. Since people do individual rides on their own schedule, there aren’t many opportunities to meet up and get to know each other better. Booker said there is a need to give more attention to seniors in Powhatan who can’t travel around. “It becomes a forgotten generation in some ways. I think it is good for the community because it keeps the people here. They don’t have to find alternative housing. They don’t have to pay a cab or an Uber. And it is good for the people who can volunteer to serve those who can’t do for themselves,” she said. In addition to the drivers, Lloyd invited some active local seniors out to gather and show their appreciation for the volunteer drivers. Ride Assist Services began offering services in early 2020 but came to an abrupt halt when COVID-19 struck, Lloyd said. She has been slowly building the program back up since September 2020
and is pleased that the program is growing at a healthy pace with both riders and drivers. “One of the things I learned in gerontology is that a huge factor in aging in place successfully is self-determination – being able to decide Wednesday I would like to go to the grocery store instead of waiting for your granddaughter to come in town. That self-determination is a huge part of not only aging successfully but feeling like you are a part of a community,” Lloyd said. As the program grows, it will continue to need more drivers. Lloyd pointed out that riders make requests, the need is sent out to the driver pool, and someone who is available agrees to drive. Volunteering is very flexible and based on a driver’s availability.
