Kids' Meals and Flying Fish
Resuming a beloved annual January tradition, Heritage Group members spent a gratifying morning with other volunteers preparing up to 6300 sandwiches and snacks for pre-school children in need at one of our favorite non-profits, Kids' Meals. We loved the assembly-line smoothness and fabulous teamwork of all involved!
All the hard work was topped off with a delicious lunch and lots of conversation at Flying Fish.

Volunteers Needed: Heights High School - CIS Post Secondary Education & Career Forum
HHWC Evening Group is seeking volunteers to participate in a series of post secondary education and career discussions with students in the Heights High CIS program.
The format will be a panel discussion with 3-4 volunteers briefly describing their college and career journeys followed by questions from the students. The intention is to illustrate that education/careers are not a linear journey. Folks start in different places, overcome many different kinds of challenges, grow in different directions to eventually land where “they are supposed to be”.
This is open to Evening and Heritage members. On a very limited basis family members or friends of members may volunteer if they can add a diverse or unique perspective for the kids.
First session is February 15, 11:50am-12:50pm with monthly sessions to follow in March, April and May depending on availability of volunteers. We are also accepting donations of packaged cookies, dried fruit, nuts to pass out as snacks at each session.
