Make a difference

Each project supports a local cause. Our projects are two-tiered to ensure they are interesting and flexible. You can choose to collect needed items or do the craft portion of the project (or both). You can participate in as many months as suits your time and interests.

Treat bags for the h!ppo program assembled by Alex volunteers

h!ppo program

h!ppo is a program designed to support children living in shelters or transitional housing, by providing seasonal treats and creative play kits that are considered part of a happy childhood but that are not affordable for these families.

With the changes in schools and social programming due to COVID-19, we are experiencing higher volumes of needs for the children we help.

Our kits are a fun and safe way for families to spend quality time together, exercising creative expression and building happy memories. You can help by donating art supplies, journals or craft supplies and seasonal treats.
