Bringing smiles and serving the homeless together at St. Vincent DePaul
Service Day at St. Vincent DePaul
We couldn’t have asked for a better spring-like day to meet up with friends at the soup kitchen!

Our Debut on PeerSpring (January 21, 2016)
We’re so amazed that PeerSpring chose us to be featured on their site starting today!
Before the holidays, we were contacted by Lee Fox, the Founder of an amazing organization called PeerSpring, to do an interview. Several of us jumped at the chance to get featured (maybe), but we really didn’t know for sure. And now here we are!
“PeerSpring is a California based civic-tech B-corporation that focuses on 21st century youth leadership, entrepreneurship and youth social innovation in the U.S. and internationally. As well as being the Founder, Lee Fox is also a TEDx speaker, CEO of KooDooZ and REGARD, and is an expert on GenY and GenZ generational trends, pop culture, and the future of philanthropy. Along with Lee, PeerSpring has a well-established Board, one of whom is a consultant to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.”
PeerSpring has a lot of young people just like us who are trying to do good things all over the world. It’s exciting for us to be among them, and also for the chance to reach others who may want to help somehow. Thanks so much, Lee Fox and PeerSpring!

Service Day January 2016
Today we learned a lot about the shelter. We started out sorting food in the warehouse, helped with meal prep, worked the buffet line, and cleaned. During our tour, we saw first hand how the shelter prepares for “white flag” days when the temps are freezing and below.
Happy New Year! You helped make 2015 a great year!
Merry Christmas! and Thank you!
Your generosity made Christmas groceries and a Christmas party possible for these children. And don’t forget your donations also helped support feeding 75-100 kids for over a full year. Isn’t this amazing? Thanks so much for supporting our efforts in 2015!

Wayside Christian Mission service day 12-19-15
It was a lot of fun serving with new friends from our church and meeting the nicest people working at Wayside Christian Mission!
Our fundraiser is feeding kids weekly for a year AND sponsors a Christmas Party in Cangumbang, PI
For the second year in a row, Hope for Haiyan’s fundraiser will support over a FULL year of weekly feedings for 75-100 kids, AND will also sponsor another Christmas party for the kids in Cangumbang, PI. We are still excited about how far we’ve come to help others who suffered from this natural disaster. We couldn’t have done this without all of our friends, family and donors.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR TAKING ONE BRIGHT STEP AT A TIME WITH US!
We did it!
We had a great turnout out at our Halloween fundraiser! We had over 120 people come to our party. We had chili and hot dogs, and we had a DJ doing the H4H Line Dance with us. The best part is that everyone donated enough to feed 75-100 kids for OVER a year this time. Plus we have enough for Christmas groceries to give the families that don’t have a sponsor. Thanks everyone for supporting us and “taking one bright step at a time” with us! Look what we did together. It’s amazing!

We’ll be doing this at our Halloween Party & Fundraiser!
