Children’s House

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.

         

Port to Fort 6k

Club members participated in the 15th 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!

HSR Panel

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.

Outback Dinner

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!

Dr. Franyo was extremely kind to host our blanket making event at her house! We ended making a great amount of blankets that will be donated to Johns Hopkins Children’s Hospital! Many people became closer in the club because they had time to chat while making the blankets. The event was such a success that we will be meeting again, with the Forensics Club, on December 2 in the Ratcliffe Community Center TV Room at 7 p.m! Be there to have a great time and meet fellow students interested in doing something for a good cause!

Light the Night Walk

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!

This evening I had an awesome night at the 10th Anniversary of the Human Services Program! There was an amazing celebration where faculty and students got together to eat cake and receive a little special gift! After the celebration, we had an HSR meeting to catch up on the plans for the new semester!
