Grant Thompson feels that with all of the problems and needs in the world, he should be part of the solution and help make the world a better place.
Grant started with his own community, which he felt needed a lot of helping hands. When he saw a poster hanging up at his school with information about Hands4Hope, he decided to attend one of the meetings held at Marina Middle School in El Dorado Hills.
When Grant began volunteering with Hands4Hope he was a 6th grader at Marina Middle School. Today he is in 8th grade, and still enjoying all of his fundraising activities.
His favorite Hands4Hope volunteer activity so far is the sock drive held at his school. Grant just loved going around to his peers collecting socks, and he loved to see the success of his fundraising efforts.
Grant also helped plan a successful hot chocolate fundraiser that benefitted the Heifer project, a charity that helps poverty-stricken communities in Africa by providing them animals for everyday use.
What is Grant passionate about in life? “I am very passionate about working hard, keeping promises, and trying my best.”
When he is not volunteering for Hands4Hope, Grant enjoys swimming. He has been on the swim team for four years now, and loving it.
Thank you Grant for all that you do for Hands4Hope!
