GIFTS OF JOY

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the HALO Foundation! In this joyous holiday season, our hearts turn in a special way to the underprivileged and less fortunate. That’s why we have prepared over 50 totes of donated new items that have been distributed to Veteran’s agencies, pregnancy centers, battered women’s shelters, to name a few. Help us share the joy of the season! Middle School Students will be helping assemble totes on January 4th and 21st! Thank you to our outstanding donors who have provided over $30,000.00 in product!

CONTINUED OUTREACH TO THE UNDERPRIVILEGED

Mother’s Day preparation – In an effort to honor those who have selflessly dedicated their lives to us, students will be collecting and preparing items for Mothers in local nursing homes. They will also be preparing a joyful presentation to honor so many of these beloved and often forgotten souls.

Disaster Relief – The HALO Foundation has been communicating with areas that have recently been hit by natural disaster. Once the need and destination is determined, we will prepare to launch the 2019 Wings of Charity Relief effort.

THANK YOU!

Thank you to those who were able to join us this year for our annual Wings of Charity Gala!  The 2018 Wings of Charity was a wonderful and successful event.  Guests enjoyed live music from The Boomers, a most delicious buffet dinner from Guy’s Party Center, live, silent, and super silent auctions!  We thank you for your generous support, and cannot wait to see you again in September of 2019!

Hurricane IRMA Disaster Relief

Our disaster relief fundraiser for the Hurricane Irma victims of Immokalee, Florida, was a huge success! This rural migrant worker town was chosen because the storm took nearly everything from families that had very little to begin with. Below are pictured a number of the volunteers who worked hard to pack up the needed supplies in Akron, OH, and unpack them when they arrived in Florida. Thank you to all those who donated time, effort, money, and supplies to aid these families!
