The Season Of Giving

Kindness is one of the greatest gifts we can bestow upon others and can bring the greatest joy into our lives. Without a Roof's club members found that out while we ran our first Hygiene Kit Drives this year at Oak Ridge High School and Lake Forest Elementary.  Our focus was on collecting Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Washes.  We were greatly appreciative of all those who volunteered their time and effort.  We had many wonderful donations including the 450 toothbrushes and toothpastes and funding graciously donated by Hoybjerg Orthodontics, Pediatric Dental Specialists and Dr. Jensen DDS. We also focused time on opportunities to serve, education and grow as a club through learning.  We found great success as we were able to meet our goals, exceed our expectations and work with amazing individuals.  

The Girl Scouts of America, troops #991 and #240 aided us as we ran our Hygiene Kit Drive at Lake Forest Elementary.  Community service is an integral part of being a Girl Scout, and these girls had the opportunity to practice team work, build skills, and become empowered by making changes in our community. Their time shared, work provided and beautiful smiles was a joy to work with. Without a Roof club member are looking forward to our upcoming events planned with them starting next month as we make blankets to donate for our Warm and Fuzzy Drive.
