BUZZ Live! stars New River Valley TimeBank

BUZZ Live! is spending time with the New River Valley TimeBank, a nonprofit that connects people to exchange skills and services, using time rather than dollars. When a member provides one hour of service for someone, they earn one Time Credit!

Join us May 3 as the TimeBank hosts its twice-a-year Repair Cafe at the Habitat for Humanity NRV ReStore in Christiansburg. You’ll meet the folks who donate their time at the Repair Cafe – offering free repairs for small furniture, sewing, jewelry, small appliances, and electronics, plus knife and tool sharpening. We’ll be broadcasting from the TimeBank’s “Public Living Room,” which provides a space for folks to sit and visit with neighbors … maybe even enjoy a cup of tea, some live music and Alistair the therapy dog!

Our hour-long free show starts at 12:00 pm and is open to all. It will also be live-streamed to our Facebook and YouTube channels. Repair Cafe and Public Living Room are from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Register below to attend.

BUZZ Live! stars Hope to Walk’s mission to Ukraine

BUZZ Live! is back April 3, 2025, to help Hope to Walk – a Blacksburg, Va. nonprofit seeking to raise $15,000 to provide prosthetics to some of the estimated 100,000 soldiers and civilians, women and children, who are now amputees because of the war.

Open to all, our free show will be in person at Church on Main, 550 N. Main St., Blacksburg, Va., and live-streamed to this Facebook channel. Register below to attend.

Working with Ukraine Focus, a major U.S. nonprofit based in Washington, D.C., that addresses medical needs in Ukraine, Hope to Walk founder Phil Johnson and assistant Max Faublas are scheduled to travel to Ukraine the last two weeks in May. They will be in Kyiv with Ukraine Focus staff to consult on the best way to meet the need. They also plan to outfit 20 amputees with Hope to Walk legs.

Our BUZZ Live! show will feature the inspiring people who serve Hope to Walk, and share some incredible video testimonials of those who can now walk thanks to the nonprofit.

The hour-long show will also be live-streamed to our Facebook and YouTube channels and later broadcast on Blue Ridge PBS. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Trip expenses, along with the cost of 20 prosthetic legs, are estimated to be $15,000. Your compassion can help a Ukrainian amputee toward a brighter future. This LINK will take you to the HTW donation page, with instructions for online and mail-in donations. Your donation will support providing prosthetic legs for Ukrainians and other critical needs. If we raise more than needed for this initiative, your gift will help where it’s most needed.
