Hello, My name is Bella Field and I’m a senior at Jordan Elbridge High School. As part of my Civics class, I am required to perform some type of community service. For my project, I decided to ask for monetary/gift card donations in order to buy supplies for Matthew House. I also purchased a variety of items to assemble “busy bags” for both adults and children. These bags are filled with many things to do, such as word search books, puzzles, crayons, etc. I did this because I know what it’s like to sit with ill family members and have something to do to take your mind off why you’re sitting and waiting. These bags are given to family members while they are spending time with their loved one at Matthew House, or they are provided to children as a way to keep them busy during a wake or funeral service, it was important to me to contribute something. I also purchased several items off of your “wish list.” Monetary donations and gift cards were supplied by my friends and family members, along with Wegmans and Walmart of Auburn. Matthew House has a special connection to me because in October of 2016 my grandmother was scheduled to move into your home. Unfortunately, she passed away the morning she was to move in. None the less, my family was grateful that there was a place for her to go and I wanted to somehow give back. Thank you for your time and I am looking forward to dropping these items off to you. Isabella Field delivering her donations Isabella Field JEHS, Class of 2019

Spring 2019 Matthew House • Loving Care Issue 37 Board of Directors Susan Coe From the Executive Director President Carin Kopp Reflections of the Past Year Vice President Katie Orman As spring approaches, thoughts Secretary of sunny weather, budding leaves and blooming flowers come to mind, Lloyd Hoskins warming my heart in anticipation. Treasurer Maybe it’s just spring fever, but when I reflect upon my first year as the Kelly Buck Executive Director at Matthew House, Pat Carbonaro I am also drawn to the analogy of Michael Cuddy how our diverse volunteers are like a Marnie Fessenden glorious rainbow spectrum of every Melissa Flask age and level of ability. With our youngest volunteer just 9 years old Laurie Piccolo and our oldest volunteers being over David Tehan 80 years of age; people offer a variety of talents such as plowing the driveway, organizing fundraising events, or Staff providing carpentry skills at no Angela Ryan, LMSW charge. I have been in a constant state of awe and gratitude since I started in Executive Director my position at Matthew House. It is amazing to witness all the creative ways in which people have been inspired to contribute gifts of talent, time, skills, and of Lisa Camardo course funding. Bookkeeper Certain days feel quite magical at Matthew House, with unexpected blessings Shelly MacBain happening in all sorts of ways. Here is just a glimpse of the types of generosity Manager of Resident Services I have seen in the past few weeks alone: Jacob and Josh Janish worked tirelessly Ann Padula for six hours in the blustery cold to replace our front door as an in-kind gift; an Correspondence Secretary artist and close friend of a resident who passed away in December, donated a beautiful print of Hoopes Park’s Gazebo to adorn the walls of Matthew House and Isabella, a local high school senior, donated some items from our wish list For more information, and created “busy bags” filled with activities to keep people engaged while going comments or address through difficult times. contact: Each day I get to witness firsthand the dedication of an incredible team of Matthew House staff and volunteers.
