Become a Leader

Lead With Purpose, Serve With Heart

“Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality” by Warren Bennis.  The LEADR program teaches student the skills needed to become community leaders.

ITEMS WE COLLECT

Project Donate

HALO gathers gently used or new items and passes them on to people in need throughout the year.  We bring in local schools to help sort, pack and distribute donations to people or other non-profits that need them. 

When you have lost it all, or never had these things to begin with, these "basic" items make a major difference. It's hard to open a can from a food bank without a can opener...

Student Leaders from Archbishop Hoban High School teamed up with HALO to help Veterans in our community. A flower sale was held during lunch periods to raise funds for the veterans that are living in Valor Home. The funds will buy supplies that the veterans need now and when they get permanent housing.

Disaster Relief

When a natural disaster strikes, the focus of our nation is riveted on providing help and assistance to those impacted. The HALO Foundation of Akron, ( Hope Always Lives On) respects the first responders and major relief agencies immediately on the scene. Our effort focuses on finding the segments of communities who still need significant aid several months later. We do this by working with our student leaders from over 25 area school, to collect and purchase needed materials; to help those impacted rebuild their lives. 
– We negotiate with benevolent suppliers who will both allow students to purchase items wholesale and/or match their donation in product 
– We coordinate transportation of all items, collected and purchased to a designated location. 
– On “Delivery Day” some of our Student Leaders may be transported to the area to work with local students and the military to receive  and distribute the goods.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do
more and become more, you are a leader.
John Quincy Adams
