Resources Needed (budget, volunteers, materials etc.)
Small box; “We Care” slips of paper (see example below).
Implementation Process (including length of time for planning and implementation)
Needed – small box with a lid (We Care Box), “We Care” slips, and a pen. The We Care Box is passed around during the meeting. If members would like to make a call and receive a call during the week, they fill out their information on one of the slips of paper, fold it in half and return it to the box. The box is passed around a second time. If you put your name in, you take a name out. Your commitment is to make a “We Care Call” or e-mail the name you have chosen sometime during the week.
Additional Comments (including things of which to be mindful)
In the sharing, we will hear how the We Care Call came at just the right time or we may hear someone make an amends for not having made their call.
Results
We have found this to be a good method of keeping people connected. It is optional – which seems to work well. Even when the call is not made, speaking from experience, it is reassuring to know I have the name and contact information of someone from the meeting in my pocket.
