Needs From: United Way of the Wabash Valley

One of the most important elements of any non-profit is having a strong Board of Directors. We are nearing the end of our $3.45 million capital campaign, with construction planned for the summer of 2024.  Moving forward with the expansion of our facility and the increase in opportunities for disabled individuals in the community, we are seeking dedicated and loyal individuals to sit on our board and help move us forward. That’s why we are turning to you! We invite you to join us at one of our meetings on the third Tuesday of the month or reach out to our Director or board member to hear about our needs and to share your ideas of how to move forward and continue our years of service in the community. There’s no expected commitment from you if you do attend — we’d just like an opportunity to broaden our network and identify people who may be interested in serving Happiness Bag.

Do you have a special talent or skill that you'd like to share with the friends at Happiness Bag? We're calling all artists, musicians, actors, potters, dancers, chefs, craftsmen, or other entertainers that would like to enlighten us about their craft. We love to learn new things, and there's no better way to do so than to learn from those who love what they do!  In the past, we've welcomed police officers, firefighters, Silly Safaris animal show, a grandma that loves to can fruits and vegetables, and a potter (just to name a few). We hope to welcome many more wonderful and talented people to our center to teach us about jobs and hobbies that we can explore. If you are one of these talented people, please contact us at info@happinessbag.org or 812.234.8867
