Serving the Children of the World…one Hampton Roads community at a time.
Holiday House of Portsmouth, cares for children throughout Virginia with disabilities. Their staff provides services with a gentle and caring touch to create a therapeutic, yet home like environment. Their nurses provide 24 hour nursing care working in partnership with the child’s physician. Each child receives routine medical evaluations from a pediatrician to evaluate his or her medical needs.
Holiday House children share the same emotional needs as children everywhere. Activities and therapeutic recreation programs provide daily opportunities for the children to enjoy both recreational and leisure activities. All of the children attend school in the community. Each child benefits from a special education curriculum.
For more than 30 years, the Kiwanis Club of Norfolk has been doing their annual picnic. This is one of those volunteer opportunities club members do not want to miss. This is a way for us to make a REAL difference in the lives of children who need something to smile about.
Robert A “Bob” Crum Jr. Executive Director,Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, gave us a wonderful update last Thursday at our Kiwanis meeting. One of our charities, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Norfolk VA, received their check from us, and Neil Rose, reported to us on the Kiwanis Club of Norfolk Foundation. Doug tells us the plan for selling the rest of the peanuts. The plan means Buy Peanuts, ha! #norfolkva#hamptonroads#Charities... See MoreSee Less
What a great presentation, and so relevant for Kiwanis Club of Norfolk, this week! Thank you Mel Price is Principal and co-founder of Work Program Architects and Chuck McPhillips is Founder and Chairman of Next Step to Success.
The Norfolk-based “Next Step to Success” program revealed that they would be purchasing the former DePaul Hospital property that sits off Kingsley Lane in the Riverpoint area of the city and turning it into the “St. Vincent de Paul House.”
“The Hospital of St. Vincent dePaul,” was the name when the first medical facility opened up on the site in 1856.
The new development will include “learning houses,” a gymnasium, a dining hall, gardens and a regulation-size soccer field, all to serve 300 students as part of Next Step’s afterschool and summer “experiential learning” programs, according to a release. Program leadership said they hope to have the campus up and running in two years as their goal is lofty: cut the poverty rate in Norfolk by one-half within a generation.
Thank you Bob Rose for the content above from our club newsletter.
Our meeting this week will be another great one! Be sure to register Kiwanians and think about a guest you can bring along.
