NAACP 100th Year

 

Stafford Branch Loses a Pioneer

 

On Sunday, February 7, 2010, we were deeply saddened to hear of the death of Elnora A. Pondexter.  Mrs. Pondexter was faithful and selflessly committed herself to advancing the causes of the Stafford County NAACP.  She served as President of the branch for 15 years, Vice-President for 5 years, and was a lifetime member.  During her tenure of service, she assisted the Stafford county community by holding voter registration and food drives, addressed health care issues, provided family counseling, and hosted a bevy of fundraisers.  Her many works in the community did not go unnoticed and were commended and recognized through proclamation by the Stafford County Board of Supervisors.  Over the many years, Mrs. Pondexter continued to set an example for young women and men of color to strive to be the best that they could be and to serve their community and country.  The members of the Stafford County NAACP can never thank Mrs. Pondexter enough for her tireless efforts and being a beacon of light and pillar of strength to her family, friends, and community.  Wishing you God's peace.

Community Involvement

Although the NAACP has been helping improve the lives of minorities for nearly 100 years, the struggle continues. We continue to strive for equality in our schools, in our communities, and in our workplace.

The entire NAACP family is deeply saddened by the devastation in Haiti, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and those affected by this tragedy. The NAACP is asking our members and supporters to do whatever they can to assist those who have lost their homes, their livelihoods, and their loved ones. In the weeks ahead we will bring you a number of opportunities to get involved in relief efforts in your communities.

Today, the need for aid is crucial, and we ask that you make an emergency donation through the NAACP for Haiti Fund.

The NAACP is working directly with our partner organizations on the ground, and donations made to the NAACP for Haiti fund will go to support the effort to bring food, water, shelter and medical services to the people of Haiti.
