Heartbeat of Toledo needs volunteers to serve as nurses, parenting instructors and advocates for its East Toledo location.
Heartbeat is a pregnancy resource center whose mission is to be the best source of information and support to women facing pregnancies and to help moms, dads, and babies in need. All services are free and confidential.
The East Toledo office is located at 101 Main St., Suite 4, at the corner of Front and Main, in the historic Weber Block Building.
“We are looking to expand our services in East Toledo and need additional volunteers so we can serve more women and families,” notes Pat Todak, executive director.
Mrs. Todak states that volunteer advocates meet with women facing unplanned pregnancies to provide both information and emotional support. Parenting instructors meet one-on-one with new and expectant moms and dads to facilitate prenatal and parenting lessons. Nurses provide health assessments to women who come in for free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds.
“There is no experience necessary to serve as an advocate or parenting instructor,” Mrs. Todak says. “Nurses should be RNs or LPNs with an active license.”
“All potential volunteers attend an orientation and receive extensive training and shadowing experience before volunteering with clients,” Mrs. Todak adds.
For more information or to attend a volunteer orientation, call Heartbeat at 419-241-9131. A volunteer application is also available on their website, http://heartbeatoftoledo.org/get_involved.html.
Heartbeat has two locations: 4041 W. Sylvania Ave., across from Franklin Park Mall, and 101 Main St. in East Toledo.

 “Free Community Movie” that will be taking place at the Bedford Library. The event is being hosted by Dialogue to Change. It takes place on April 12, 2015 from 3:00pm-5:30pm

What would Lucas County look like if every Christian church were working in some loosely but strategically coordinated manner?

What would the church itself look like?

You are invited to attend the Poverty Summit 2015 — Mind the Gap.

The goal of this FREE one day event is to develop a plan for the Christians in Lucas County

to tackle poverty. The event is being held at Cherry Street Mission’s Life Revitalization Center (former Macomber High School), 1501 Monroe St, Toledo.

Dr. John Perkins will be our inspiring keynote speaker this year. Dr. Perkins started the Christian Community Development Association and has guided hundreds of communities and ministries in addressing poverty.

Breakout Sessions will include:

~ What Gap? Understanding what the church needs to know about poverty

~ Building the Bridge:  Steps out of poverty and into autonomy

~ Bridging the Gap: A unified approach to poverty in Lucas County. What can the churches do and how to collaborate for those willing to do so.

“… then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in

spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”

Philippians 2:2-4 NIV
