Another Month of Giving Thanks
And just like that, here we are
in November!
This is the month that we all give thanks for what we have and who we have. So there's no better time to express our gratitude for all those who helped make our fall events so amazing! We had our biggest turnout to date of guests, donations, and decorated cars for our annual Trunk or Treat Halloween party October 26; and less than a week later we hosted a celebration of inspiration at the Taste of SUCCESS on November 1, with a new venue, menu and fun format. What a whirlwind! Read more on these awesome events below, and check out additional pics from the events on our website.
But there's no rest for HDGHA because we have families to help every day, so onto the next adventure! Our collection this month is focused on stocking the SUCCESS Pantry with paper products, cleaning supplies and health and hygiene items. The SUCCESS Pantry is one of the only places in the county where families in need have access to these things, so we we want to be able to provide them. Bring your contributions to our office at 101 Stansbury Court Monday-Thursday, 9am-3pm.
And as the holidays quickly approach, the season of charitable giving begins, too. We are once again participating in #GivingTuesday on Facebook, so any donations we receive via that platform will be matched by Facebook. Wow! Learn more about the program in the article that follows.
Thanks to everyone for your continuing generosity supporting our mission! We wish each and every one of you a wonderful Thanksgiving!
A Celebration of Inspiration at the Taste of SUCCESS
The Taste of SUCCESS sip and sample fundraiser was a BIG hit! Guests thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to sample food and drinks from a variety of local vendors, and the freedom to network and explore the beautiful Liriodendron Mansion. As always, the Casino Room was a popular stop on the tour, the prizes were AMAZING, and the DJ kept everyone stepping out on the dance floor.
Our nominated Families of Hope were made to feel special and honored, which is exactly what the event is all about. These determined individuals faced tremendous adversity, yet they continue to keep a positive attitude and inspire those around them. Such an uplifting experience! The best part is the "pay it forward" aspect of the gathering, since all proceeds will be funneled back into The SUCCESS Project to develop new or enhanced programs that assist even more families.
