When Janet Weedon walks into LifeStyles\u2019 Distribution Center, things start to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shelves get restocked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mannequins get styled.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plans take shape, and projects find purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t wait to be asked. She sees what\u2019s needed \u2014 and she steps in with heart, creativity and a whole lot of energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"As one of the lead volunteers at our Waldorf Distribution Center, Janet has become an essential part of our operations. Whether she\u2019s serving as a personal shopping assistant for clients or transforming donations into beautifully curated displays, her care and attention shine through in everything she does.<\/span><\/p>\n

And she doesn\u2019t just organize \u2014 she uplifts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Janet has a special talent for bringing joy to the families we serve, especially during the holidays. Her handcrafted Easter baskets are a sight to behold \u2014 full of love and color and care. At Christmas, she goes out of her way to make sure every child feels celebrated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her creativity is matched only by her drive. She drafts plans. She rolls up her sleeves. And she doesn\u2019t stop until the job is done \u2014 and done well.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s that follow-through, that enthusiasm, that deep sense of purpose, that makes her such a gift to LifeStyles.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are so grateful for all that Janet brings to our team. Her dedication reminds us that service takes many forms, and every act of care can create lasting impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join us in celebrating Janet Weedon and the joy she brings to LifeStyles and our community.<\/span><\/p>\n

The annual Point-in-Time Homeless Survey began across Southern Maryland on Wednesday, part of a large, nationwide effort that attempts to quantify the numbers of sheltered and unsheltered individuals and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of its Continuum of Care (CoC) application for homelessness funding, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that jurisdictions across the nation conduct a statistically reliable and unduplicated count of the homeless for one overnight period during the last 10 days of January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LifeStyles of Maryland is helping lead the effort in Southern Maryland. Roughly 50 volunteers and staff members will fan out across the region to conduct the survey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the goal is to provide a snapshot of the homeless in our community, LifeStyles takes it a step further by providing access to resources and distributing items to help them sustain the weather as well as providing information and encouraging individuals to access shelter and housing services. LifeStyles will also work with local departments of social services to provide shelter for those who seek it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
