Blair High School Sophomores in the highly competitive Communications Arts Program chose to benefit Hearts & Homes for Youth as part of its “Change Project” this year. The group collected 136 stuffed animals and pajamas to help make our Hearts & Homes Youth a little more comfortable and to help people in the community.

“We are really happy to be helping the kids,” says Ann Marie Huisentruit, who, with the help of her teammates, collected, boxed, wrapped and brought the gifts to our Hearts & Homes headquarters. Why did the group choose Hearts & Homes for Youth? “We wanted to work with children in the area,” said Leon Mait, who spearheaded this campaign.
Hi Rex and Volunteers from Blair High School. I am a 1957 graduate of Blair and was so pleased to see all the wonderful work you volunteers are doing for Hearts and Homes for Youth. Congratulations and keep up the good work. I am a personal friend of Rex Smith from High School years.
Sincerely, Jo Ann Rubini Hilliard
are you accepting any volunteer work?
I am interesting in volunteering. I am a mother of 5 sons with 4 being in college and one going into highschool. Me and my husband have always said once the boys are on their own we would love to become foster parents. With the extra time I have now I would love to volunteer.
Please advise if you are looking for a GREAT volunteer or if you know of an organization that is looking for one.
Thank you
I am interested in volunteering with Helen Smith. I was a resident there 20 years ago and I hold great pride and esteem for the program. I was also in Caithness and open door. I want to give back to the wonderful people who did so much for me and hopefully be able to touch some young womans life the way mine was.
Thank You Charisma Holland-Dionne
