Children's Volunteers Bring Learning & Joy

By: Hope Hodnett, Youth Program Coordinator

Volunteers and donors play a key role in our Children’s Program by helping to provide academic support and enriching experiences. One example is our recent ‘Reverse Trick or Treat’ event held for Safe Haven families. Volunteers from the Junior League, Safe Haven Young Professionals Council and more dressed up and knocked on doors to deliver some Halloween treats to Safe Haven families.

Another example is our Back to School Supply Drive. Through donations of almost 8,000 back to school items, children and youth in Safe Haven’s program were ready to start school with the supplies they needed. Safe Haven’s incredible volunteers organized, packed and distributed those school supplies to nearly 170 elementary, middle and high school students!

We are so grateful for our community of donors, volunteers and community partners who provide this support to our Children’s Program.
