Neighborhood House SW HOPE Community Food Drive Feb 28-April 10, 2022 It is one of the ways we live our mission: To Support the community of Raleigh Hills: to promote a vibrant business environment, maintain a safe and healthy climate, create community consciousness, and maximize livability. Thank you for participating in our Winter Project to make the lives of those less fortunate a little better. We'll happily accept any and all donations, but your contribution will go further if paid by check! Donations may be accepted by check at Kristl Oliver American Family Insurance Office, RHBA, or online by debit or credit. Because of the generosity of our members and their friends and colleagues, we were able to help 15 students and their families (helping over 75 family members) in 20. Volunteers make the purchases, and other items in need, along with food boxes. The School, Raleigh Park Elementary in our situation, works with the Sheriff's Office to identify the family needs. Families are selected by the local school. After shopping, the children will eat lunch, wrap their gifts, and continue to get to know the Washington County Support Staff and Officers, building positive connections in our neighborhoods.ΔΆ021 - as in 2020, COVID impacted the ability to do things as in the past, but Shop With A Cop is going forward. Each child is given a small amount of money to spend, approximately 1-2 children are assigned to each Officer, who then escorts them around the store and assists in selecting appropriate gifts. Kids, K - 5th grade, are selected each holiday season to shop for gifts for their immediate family. Traditionally, this event helps foster positive relationships between youth and officers.
