What is your favorite HHOH Event?
I think Thankful Thursday is my favorite event. I love everything we do, but sometimes it's just the raw basics. When you are out in the streets, and the people know you, and appreciate you for the simple things, like a fruit cup, it touches me and keeps me humble.
What is your favorite quote?
“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

My favorite HHOH event is always when we serve at Tent City, especially in the winter months. I love putting what is needed in literal hands when they need it. The Wall of Love is my second favorite

What is your favorite HHOH Event?
This is a tough question for me as I love them all for different reasons. We serve those in need face to face, meeting them right there where they are, feeling their emotions, the highs and lows, all of it. And the feelings of victories and successes when we have the items we are in need of.

What is your favorite HHOH Event?
My favorite HHOH event is Christmas Wishes! It fosters holiday cheer and connection, while still addressing the needs of the community. We simultaneously provide a bit of a "break" to those that would not otherwise receive it. Holiday festivities just have a way of sparking joy!
