We are so grateful to live in a community that supports our work through donations of household goods and furniture as well as cash gifts. You make this possible!
The members of the Waverly Woods West - Lunch with a Purpose select a nonprofit to support for their regular lunch gatherings. In Feburary, they chose HOOO. The members collected two vans full of home goods for our clients, supported us with generous cash donations and invited us to their lunch to talk about HOOO and the work we do to fill empty homes. Just look at the lovely centerpieces made out of the donated items! And for the nicest close to the afternoon, Lunch with a Purpose member Marci donated her raffle winnings to HOOO. What a generous group! Thank you Waverly Woods West - Lunch with a Purpose!
