Human Services Club

We went to the Children’s House at Johns Hopkins Hospital and had a blast preparing dinner for the families of ill children. Italian meals were made by our club members and warmed up at the Johns Hopkins House. We had a great time interacting with the families and children and cannot wait to return to make more meals.

We had an awesome time on Thursday making the soldier’s care packages. The human services club have been collecting items and money for the soldiers at the Greenspring Campus. With all the items we received from students/faculty/ and staff, we made care packages for them. In the care packages, we included a hand written letter for them to read and express our thanks. Since they are doing so much for us, this is just a little way to show our thanks. The packages have been sent out and our soldiers will have something to look forward to.

Club members participated in the 15^th annual Port to Fort 6k Family Run/Walk that benefitted the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation.  The group raised $222 for this worthy cause!! It’s great to take part in fun events that support a great cause!

On Feb. 21, a panel made up of four graduates from the HSR Program presented information about “Life after Stevenson” to a standing room only audience of HSR seniors who will be graduating in May.  The HSR Club sponsored this event, and Rachel Buchanan, Vice President of Education, organized it.

We had an awesome club dinner at Outback tonight! At first, we weren’t sure if a majority of the club would be able to join because it was during finals week, but our members viewed it as a break from studying! We had a blast at dinner because we got to talk about some of our club functions, our lives, and how great it was to get away from studying for a little while!

We participated in the Light the Night Walk tonight, which was fun!  The walk was a two mile walk around M &T Bank stadium and Camden Yards. We helped raise $130 for the Lukemia and Lymphoma Society.  The money went to patients, their needs, and research. 

Our club thought that families at the Johns Hopkins Children’s House could use our help in preparing dinner. We went to the house to prepare a delicious meal for the families struggling with a sick child; therefore, they have little time to make themselves a meal. With volunteers making the meals, the families are then able to eat a quick home-made meal and get back to their sick child. One would really be surprised how much this can brighten someones day with all that they are going through. Lend a hand!

So it has been quite some time that I have had the opportunity to blog! I’m back and ready to update everyone on what the Human Services Club is taking part of! Stay posted for the events that we are looking forward to participating in and have participated in. With the help of everyone, we can really make a difference!
