HRI's Holiday Wish 2021 continues!
2021-11-01 - 2021-11-30
All month, HRI is collecting donations to help families purchase gifts and necessities for Holiday Wish.
.
.
“Thanks to generous support, we’ve been able to provide unprecedented aid through the pandemic,” said Sierra Houck, ​speaking for HRI’s Social Services Program. “Our clients have shown incredible resilience and resourcefulness, but they continue to feel the impact of the pandemic and recession. We’re asking the community to come together again to ensure that families can celebrate at year’s end without sacrificing basic needs.”
.
.
Our goal is to provide for 50 or more households. Funds raised beyond our goal may be used to sustain HRI’s ongoing legal and social services programs.
