I've done some snooping....here are a few of the things our Ruthie is involved in.

The Erma D. Clark Youth Council....founded in 1987 by Ruthie. She was inspired by her Mama D. to establish this council and had run it out of her home for all these years. The purpose of this organization is to help underprivileged youth. Ruthie teaches them things they'll need in later life....showing the the way so to speak. She shows them love and caring. She's refused grants and any government funding because she doesn't want anyone telling her how to take care of her kids. Imagine that Wink

Also:

GCAP (Greater Community Aids Project)

T.I.M.E.S. Center (Transitional Initiatives & Men's Empowerment Services)

Women's Shelter (battered women)

Safe House

Women's Fund, Women's Place & Roundhouse (all providing housing and assistance for battered women, children and families in crisis.

Provena Cancer Ass. (she's a motivational speaker and volunteer 24/7 for anyone needing her.

Crisis Nursery Mission (prevention of child abuse and neglect)

Prairie Land Boy Scours

It's All In The Jeans

She serves on the board with some of these organizations and donates her time, energy and heart to all of them

Ruthie hasn't parked in her garage for over 20 years because she uses it for recycling cans, collecting clothing, sorting donations she gathers and putting together food items. Oh, and she's on a penny drive....as you saw in the pictures.

Luv is probably gonna kill me for this. She would never boost but I just have to share this with you all....her family.

She's done all this while working a full time job and one part time job. The part time is at a catering service. She has access to food items there which she is able to donate to her homeless and displaced folks.

There's more but this gives you all a brief overview of why our Ruthie is an outstanding woman....and not just for 2010.
