April Volunteer Spotlight: Nick and Annie

 






Nick and Annie are a brother and sister duo that are active members of Team Hope. They have been members of Team Hope for over a year and where they have made friends. They agree that they like helping others because it makes them feel happy.
 
Their favorite event has been the homeless outreach in Sacramento. "I was surprised by how many people came through the line, " said Nick.  "I enjoyed serving others by handing out toiletries". Nick and Annie have also made 'Hope Jars' to collect change to buy sporting equipment for kids at the Hope House.
 
Nick is a fourth grader at Jackson Elementary. He enjoys playing flag football and building just about anything with Lego's. He is also a member of the Leadership Team at his school.
 
Annie is a first grader at Jackson Elementary. Besides school and Team Hope, Annie likes to play basketball and soccer, and has recently started to learn how to play lacrosse. She also enjoys riding her bike and roller skating.
 
Nick and Annie's mom, Amy is thankful because, "Through the experiences Nick and Annie have had with Team Hope and other Hands4Hope events, they are learning that there are other kids who do not have a lot of the same things that they and their friends have. Hands4Hope has given me the opportunities to help me teach my kids about appreciation, empathy, helping others, and giving back to the community".


 

Nick and Annie, thank you for your hard work with Hands4Hope!
