OCTOBER DRIVES:

Fighting Hunger One Houstonian at a Time

During the HAHU Symposium last month, HAHU held our annual Food and Funds Drive for the Houston Food Bank.

Due to your kindness, as of today our association donated several pounds of non-perishable food items and $335.00 in financial contributions. The Houston Food Bank was very appreciative for HAHU’s ongoing support. THANK YOU for your assistance in HAHU’s fight against local hunger.

Holiday Cards From Home To The Troops

Last month, HAHU held our second annual drive to send Holiday Cards From Home to US troops currently deployed. The cards were to show our gratitude for the incredible work our brave servicemen and servicewomen do daily for our country. Due to Dental Select underwriting this drive and due to your kindness, 109 Holiday Cards From Home will be in the hands of soldiers by the holidays. I hope this event not only showed collective community support for our troops but also served as a reminder to each of us that we are very blessed to be Americans.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (832) 492-4303 or veronicaw@dentalselect.com.

NOVEMBER DRIVES:

Holiday Toy Drive

Sharing with those in need has become a very special part of our association’s holidays. Each year HAHU assists Houston Children’s Charity by contributing toys and financial donations for less fortunate children within our community. Please bring unwrapped, new toys for children of all ages to our November luncheon. You may also make an online donation to the charity when you register for the luncheon. We are hoping for 100% member participation in the toy drive which will result in Houston’s disadvantaged children smiling as they experience holiday joy!

Thank you in advance for your willingness to lend a helping hand during the holidays! Please feel free to reach
me at (832) 492-4303 or veronicaw@dentalselect.com if you have any questions or if you would like to volunteer some of your holiday time at Houston Children’s Charity.

Annual School Drive

Leave a comment

HAHU will hold our annual school supply drive on Wednesday, July 20th.  I am asking each of you to please bring loose or prepackaged school supplies or a financial donation to the July HAHU luncheon (held at Sullivan’s Steakhouse).  All types of school supplies and backpacks are needed, as well as financial donations  to be used toward school uniform vouchers.

A representative with Houston Children’s Charity will be at the luncheon to accept the donations. HAHU’s Back to School Drive Back to School Drive will reach out to elementary and middle school children (K – 8th grade) in Aldine ISD, Alief ISD and Houston ISD.  A tax deductible contribution from you will help these needy children start the school year with the equipment they need to learn.  If you are interested in volunteering a few hours at this wonderful charity, please call Houston Children’s Charity at (713) 524-2878.

Thank you in advance for your willingness to lend a helping hand to local, underprivileged children! Please feel free to reach me at veronicaw@dentalselect.com or (832) 492-4303 if you have any questions or charity recommendations.
