About nova 5 pioneers

Our mission as Pioneers is to provide rewarding community service experiences and fellowship opportunities for all of active employees, retirees, partners and families; to provide value to sponsoring companies by generating branding visibility, building teamwork and developing leadership skills of employees.  In addition our goal is to be well known as volunteers meeting a variety of community needs.

Our commitment is to answer the call of those in need, homeless, shelters, veterans, senior citizens, nursing home residents, Domestic Violence, food pantries and most of all, educating our children.

The Pioneers touch so many lives with your support.  We purchase yarn for our volunteers who in turn make lap robes for seniors, hats, gloves, scarves for the homeless and baby blankets for hospitalized babies and layettes for babies of unwed mothers.  Also, we do all we can to enrich the lives of those in need, i.e., providing food to pantries and the list continues.  Household items are purchased for veterans discharged from the Veterans hospital to their new apartments.

During the summer months some Clubs sponsor annual barbecues for the veterans and nursing homes.  The Pioneers purchase Long Johns and distribute them along with knitted hats, gloves and scarves to the homeless in the New York City boroughs.  School supplies and dictionaries are purchased and distributed to various schools within the boroughs.  Through our volunteer efforts our mission is to contribute life enrichment to the lives of those in nursing homes, domestic violence, shelters and veterans homes.  This is only a partial list of how your financial support is used to help our communities.

We are asking in the spirit of the Pioneers that you join us in affirming a clear and simple truth:  There are men and women, elders and children in the communities we serve who have far less than us–people with a pressing, sometimes desperate and always legitimate need for your help.
