Hello, my name is Ali Painter. My Grandma Ruth Stanton is 94 years old and has volunteered in her community and for this nation all her life.
Throughout our generations my family has served America through volunteerism and living purposeful lives. To honor her lifetime dedication and service I am offering
a $500.00 grant to the person, family, or organization who most reflects Grandma Ruth’s
dedication and life long service.
Grandma Ruth has always been a dedicated volunteer who wasn’t afraid of hard work. She is a faithful and kind team player who helped anyone in need and has always
put others’ needs above herself. During her life she has volunteered and supported agencies like Habitat For Humanity, Goodwill, and the Red Cross. She has also supported homeless shelters, worked as a drug and alcohol counselor, and donated to various organizations feeding the hungry. She has ministered to the sick at the hospitals and has given financially to those in need.. She has taken in troubled teens and families that needed temporary
housing and raised three foster children. For over 80 years she has supported various missionaries through financial support, making quilts, and sending educational supplies. She never misses church and is a prayer warrior for those having problems. My Grandmother taught us all to live purposeful lives and hopefully her example will inspire others to live an accomplished goal driven life so generations will continue to help America stay strong.
Last Christmas we were doing some last minute shopping in Oroville, California where my Grandparents live. We saw an advertisement asking for food donations and we went
inside the store to find out more. There we met an amazing volunteer who inspired us. We stopped our Christmas shopping and went coupon shopping instead (see photo). We told Grandma Ruth of this woman’s compassion toward the less fortunate and commitment to volunteerism. The idea of the Ruth Stanton Community Grant was born.
Chantelle
Bateman has always had a heart for volunteering. As a
little girl the greatest influences in her life were
various missionaries that dedicated their lives to
helping others in need. Chantelle also learned by the
example of her Mother, Step Father, and Grandparents
to put others above herself. Without prompting she
would give her hard earned allowance to the church and
volunteer her time and efforts to those less
fortunate. After the 9/11 attack on our nation,
Chantelle and her parents made the decision to go and
see the Pentagon and pay their respects to the
victims. This incredibly humbling experience inspired
Chantelle to take up a collection for the victims of
9/11 by going door to door collecting money and food
which she donated to the American Red Cross.
