Squirrel Hill Food Pantry Crew

On Sunday, March 7th The Call to Serve helped out at the Squirrel Hill Food Pantry and we conquered 125 bags full of non-perishable goods to support needy families throughout the month of March in under an hour! There were other eager volunteers there as well, but I think our crew brought some spunk and vigor that got everyone working to their maximum potential – well… that’s our story and we’re stickin’ to it!

He introduced us to signing up as a charity for CTS and has brought in over $500 worth of pledges thus far. Thanks RON! Ron is pretty serious about the marathon and The Call to Serve. He even got a tattoo to show how pumped he is.

Kickball Tournament Date is SET!

You heard it here first: The 2nd Annual Kick for the Call Tournament is happening. Saturday, May 8th. We’ll put out an official flyer in the next week. Stay tuned.

Inspiring? We think so.

We had a documentary screening at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe last night. It was a decent turnout and a lot of good came from it. We just received this forwarded email from an anonymous person who was there last night. Take a look.

“I just attended the seminar given by the people who are members of Call to Serve. This group is a non-profit organization founded by a couple of people who just want to go around and do some good. Their goal is simple. They travel the United States in a RV and do volunteer work everywhere. They do simple chores that help everyday people with everyday situations. Last summer they started in Pittsburgh and traveled to New York, Missouri, New Orleans, Houston, and San Diego and volunteered with chores such as volunteering in animal shelters, build homes, help with youth groups, help with soup kitchens, etc. They did all of this service and these projects in a 26 day period all throughout the United States. It was really interesting just to watch and see how a couple guys with a small plan and a RV can do so much help in so many places throughout our country. The documentary that they made was very inspiring just because it showed how much help they provided yet how much fun they had along their trip. After watching their documentary and hearing their seminar, I am curious to see how successful their program will eventually become. From the video and presentation alone I could tell that they had a solid foundation set. Their first summer in ’09 was just a starting year, now they have a video deal and intend on taking more RV’s and more people to volunteer in something that can do nothing but benefit the people and communities all throughout the United States. The potential of the “Call to Serve” program is simply extraordinary and I could see this program being very successful in the near future. I very much enjoyed the presentation and am glad that I took the time to learn about the “Call to Serve” tonight.”

New Video Up.

We’ve been having a lot of screenings lately of the documentary. Eventually, we’ll post it on the website but for now, enjoy this video. It highlights some of our experiences along the road.

Thank you Skysight Photography

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Autumn of Skysight Photography for allowing us to have a documentary screening at her studio. The film was perceived extremely well and we are excited to start showing it at colleges. Thanks to everyone who came out.

BIG NEWS!!!

It’s still snowing in Pittsburgh. The RV aka The Warrior is surrounded by 2.5 feet of snow. We cleaned her up a bit yesterday. Enjoy!
