Hoover Helps is volunteer sponsored for Hoover resident assistance. As your school counselor, I will make a request to Hoover Helps and they will do their best to fulfill the need but cannot make guarantees. This will require sharing your name and address with Hoover Helps in order for the need to be fulfilled.
