Breathing Life into New Life Village
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Kimberly Birks has worked with PrimeGroup Insurance for over 17 years! To say she is a vital part of our team is an understatement. Kimberly brings passion, knowledge of the industry, energy and fresh ideas to the team. Not to mention, she is a mother of three children!
Kimberly’s passion is evident in her five year involvement with New Life Village (NLV) as the Secretary on the Board of Directors.
“As a mother myself, giving a piece back to those in need is rewarding to be able to do my part to make it a better world.”
New Life Village (NLV) is an intergenerational community designed for families raising foster and adopted children. NLV’s mission is to reduce the number of children in foster care by encouraging more families to adopt and by providing these adoptive families a loving, supportive place to call home. NLV residents have either adopted a child or are in the process of doing so.
The Village was founded by Sister Claire LeBoeuf, CSC of the Congregation of the Sisters of Holy Cross. Sister Claire has spent her entire adult life advocating for abused and neglected children. Several seniors also call NLV home. They serve as surrogate grandparents and volunteers to the children and to the mission. The Village offers reduced rent on townhomes to assist these families.
The lifeblood of NLV are the dedicated members on the Board of Directors, volunteers and donors. Last year an anonymous donor wrote a check to pay off the loan on the NLV property so they can focus on the next growth plan!
“Every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story.”
Volunteering with NLV is a great way to get involved in your community, build lasting relationships and leave this world a little better than you found it! See below for the numerous ways you can get involved with NLV.
