Snacks Needed for the New Year 2022!!

Our biggest need for the new year is for our weekly snack distribution, please consider contributing non-perishable, healthy individually wrapped snacks i.e. granola bars, sandwich crackers, fruit bars, trail mix, etc.

2021 Shop with a Hero

Through generous donations by our CMS community, HHH held our 7th Annual Shop with a Hero event for 25 grateful students and their family. We were able to provide approximately $200 in gifts cards for each student. Lots of gratitude for the 15 plus police and fire men and women who came out to help our students shop for holiday gifts.  The event was a great success!


Backpacks Distributed- September 1, 2021

Our awesome HHH Board & volunteers gathered before Face to Face school started to put together "Back to School Backpacks" for our HHH kids. We want them to have a good start to this unusual school year. Thank you for your continued support.
At this time, we prefer only monetary donations to allow for social distancing and limit the need for deliveries. Donations can be made via the link to the left. Thank you.

School is out due to Coronavirus - How can you help? - March 13, 2020

Our most economically disadvantaged families will struggle greatly in the coming weeks.  These children rely on breakfast and lunch being served at school.  Currently, we have 45 children representing 40 families in the HHH program at CMS.  We will be distributing meals to them in the coming days along with Kroger gift cards. While this will not make up for all of the skipped meals, we hope it will relieve some of the burden. 

 

Please see the donate button to the left and give as you are able.  In addition, depending upon what the future holds, we would like to do another collection of single serve items (soup, mac and cheese, etc.) so that the kids will have easy lunch items while their parents are at work.  More details on that to come soon.

 

Thank you for thinking of these kids in the midst of these difficult times. 


Dee Braswell awarded the 2020 MLK Humanitarian Award

On February 25, our faithful leader, Dee Braswell was awarded the MLK Humanitarian Award at CMS.  We can think of no one more deserving and several people commented that it was long overdue.  Dee gives tirelessly and cheerfully to others.  We are so happy for her and so proud!  She received at least five nominations.  



Thank you!

Thank you to everyone that stopped by our HHH table at CMS's information day. We received many donations of school supplies, snacks and financial donations. One of our goals is to supply our HHH kids with school supplies to help them have a great start to the new school year. HHH will continue to collect individually wrapped snacks. There is a big yellow bin right outside of the CMS front office that you can drop snack donations off.
We also received a wonderful donation of zucchini bread From the CMS Learn and Serve Garden, using zucchini grown this summer. The fabulous Anne Fallon made and donated Chocolate Fudgy Zucchini Loafs (YUM!) for HHH families who came to the CMS Information Day.
THANK YOU to everyone that supports HHH, we truly appreciate you!


HHH is Ready for the New School Year 2020-21

Thank you to everyone who donated school supplies, snacks, and other goodies to get our school year off to a great start.  We are busy coordinating fall snack drives, food drives, and actively seeking new volunteers.  If you're interested in helping out, please send us an email to see how you can get involved.

 

Are you interested in getting involved with Huskies Help Huskies (HHH)? We have some open spots to volunteer. We are looking for the following for general volunteers & HHH board positions.
> Treasurer – would like to have a third person to join the team. An incoming 6th grade parent would be ideal to help with transition in the next year.
> Secretary – would take minutes, set up calendar, keep track of email, thank you notes to donors.
> Grants – would like to have a second person to help. 
> Leadership – would like to add co-chairs to events, food drives.

If you are interested in any of these positions, please contact Dee Braswell at deebraswell@bellsouth.net

Thank you! 


Snack Donations Needed:

Many thanks to the RHS Soccer Team for their support of HHH.  Last spring, they collected cleaning supplies and monetary donations for the HHH families.  Thanks to their generosity, we were able to purchase the calculators for the rising 9th graders from CMS. This year's team is collecting fun summer items to be distributed to our HHH families at the end of the year.  THANK YOU RHS Soccer!  


How your organization can help:

We need assistance from CMS and CMS-affiliated clubs/Scout troops/organizations.
