DAYTON Fall Harvest Sunday
Fall Harvest, a drive-thru alternative to traditional trick-or-treat, returns to 444 North Bend Blvd., just north of downtown Dayton on Sunday from 6 to 8 p.m.
Visitor vehicles will cruise along a haunted Halloween lane, with treats provided when children 12 years of age or younger are present (while supplies last). Vehicles may join the lineup from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Enter from Helena Street. Rainy weather will not cancel the event.
Fall Harvest is presented by the City of Dayton Dept. of Recreation.
STAFF REPORT
REGION Volunteers sought
Many people were not able to volunteer during the COVID19 pandemic and felt they could not contribute their time when it was most needed. Now that many volunteer opportunities are back (most masked or vaccinated), organizations like Crossroads
Hospice & Palliative Care in Dayton, is seeking positive, energetic and compassionate volunteers.
Volunteers play an important role by providing direct comfort, companionship and a helping hand to terminally ill patients and their families in their homes, assisted living facilities and nursing facilities. Whether it be running errands for a patient, sharing in favorite activities or just providing company, the role of a Crossroads volunteer is both needed and fulfilling. This is a chance to bring one’s interests and talents to the forefront and to share them with others.
Never volunteered before? All first-time volunteers are provided with ample support, including a training program and regular feedback. A Crossroads Volunteer Manager always accompanies a volunteer on every first patient visit.
Not all volunteer positions at Crossroads require interaction with patients and their families. Plenty of administrative volunteer assignments in the office are also available.
Volunteers can be as young as 16. Students are welcome to apply. And though Crossroads has five offices throughout Ohio, hospice and palliative care is administered anywhere that a patient calls home. Volunteers are needed throughout the Dayton area, including Montgomery, Miami, Clark, Greene, Preble and Champaign counties.
