Dear Volunteers & Supporters,
June is here and with it brings the end of school, summer fun, vacations, hot temperatures, and more outreach opportunities (see below). As we wrap up this school year, I want to send a huge shout out to all of our amazing young volunteers who were part of our School Club Program that just wrapped up, for the incredible amount of work they did this past school year.
CHECK THIS OUT . . . Through the H4H Clubs and elementary school programs alone, our young philanthropists collected 5,000 pounds of food to donate to local food banks, over 5,000 pieces of winter and spring clothing to donate to local foster children and families in need, 550 items of men's clothing to donate to Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services, 1,200 pairs of socks for homeless and others, 1,200 pounds of toiletries that are being distributed to local agencies and directly to those in need on the streets, purchased and decorated 100 notebooks for clients of The Center to use as journals, created and implemented a reading program for the children of St. John's Shelter, and raised $5,625 for causes and agencies close to their heart (all but $800 of this was donated locally).
