Human Services Club

Today the Human Services Club partook in The Port to Fort Walk/Run, which benefits Believe in Tomorrow/Johns Hopkins Children’s House.  This event benefits children who are seriously ill and seeking treatment at Hopkins. Stevenson has had interns and practicum students there, as well as our club which serves dinner once a semester to parents who are staying at the Children’s House due to their sick child. This was a great event to raise money and awareness!

Our club will be part of an event on April 16th from 2-5pm at St. Paul’s Pavilion on the Greenspring Campus! The goal is to make 25 fleece tie blankets within only 3 hours to fundraise for the new Johns Hopkins’ Children’s Center. Stevenson Athletics and The Office of Academic Services will also be part of this awesome event! A team effort goes a long way! Come out and help us make a positive difference in children’s lives! For more information feel free to contact KMarzullo@stevenson.edu!

Going to the Children’s House is always an honor for us! It is great to make families a nice warm meal and converse with them. It feels as if we are lifting a huge burden off of their shoulders by cooking them a meal and just having friendly faces to talk to. The theme for this trip was comfort food, so there was mac and cheese, chicken, cornbread, chili, red velvet cupcakes, green beans, etc. There were parents there from as far away as Costa Rica! Everyone was very appreciative of the meal and had a wonderful time. It is doing courageous work, such as this, that allows us to realize why we chose this field. Keep coming back for updates on our events!

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!
