SUMMARY
Reflection
Receiving the Hershey's grant allowed for us to achieve our goals in helping The Caring Closet and impact many children's lives in the Hamilton area. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity and are proud we were able to make an impact in others' lives. The biggest lesson we learned is that young people truly can make large differences in the community if the passion and determination is there.
Project Impact
We were able to raise over $1000 for The Caring Closet through various fundraisers and drives!
PROJECTS TASKS
Project Initiation
2.00 hours leading an initiative | Compassion
Our service group met with our Service Director at our school Mrs. Halverson to come up with a plan for how we would use our grant money. We decided that we would go shopping for the products that The Caring Closet most needed since donation numbers have been low due to the pandemic.
Project Implementation
2.00 hours leading an initiative | Compassion
Our service group went to Walmart to buy shampoo, conditioner, and children's boxers for the Caring Closet. These items were the biggest needs of The Caring Closet at this time. We are all thankful for the Heartwarming Action Grant to make these purchases possible
Project Delivery
2.00 hours leading an initiative | Compassion
Our service group dropped off our shampoo, conditioner, and boxer donations to the Caring Closet. Tammy was very grateful for all we have done this year working with her!
