Past Projects
2022 Project Hangers
Hangers is a clothing resource committed to serving EVSC students in need by providing them every-day living essentials that would otherwise be unaffordable. By providing clothing, school supplies, and hygiene products, we strive to improve the self-esteem and confidence of each student served, and in turn, ensure greater student success and fulfillment.
2021 Project Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Inc.
This charity seeks to fulfill a specific mission - to see that no kid sleeps on the floor in our town!
This years project name is No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in Our Town and we could not be more happy to be apart of this! S.H.P.’s goal is to build bunk beds for local children, ages 3-17, who are sleeping on floors, couches and other uncomfortable sleeping conditions without a bed. The $5,000 grant will allow the purchase of materials to build 28 beds including frames, mattresses, sheets, pillows and blankets.
