HHY Charity Golf Tournament !
What an incredible day of golfing at Norbeck Country Club! We had an amazing time with all the golfers, staff and volunteers who were enjoying the beautiful day playing golf, enjoying the food and drinks and networking. The money that was donated and raised goes so far to help our kids and gives HHY the ability to keep improving all our programs. We congratulate our top 3 winners: The TekSynap Team, Truist Team and Kayla Kania’s Team. Many thanks to all our sponsors and the golfers, donors, HHY staff, board members, and the staff at Norbeck for making this year’s Annual Charity Golf Tournament a great success.
May is National Foster Care Month
We celebrated our foster parents for National Foster Care Month, and we recognized the dedicated people who promote compassionate and stable homes for children. Although not all our 30+ families could attend, we were thrilled to see most of them and hand out some awards to acknowledge all the work, effort, and dedication they provided to our youth.

Help our Foster Kids!
There are so many ways to support our cause and our kids. CASA workers are infinitely important in the lives of our kids. A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a trained volunteer appointed by a judicial officer to provide advocacy for a child who is under the jurisdiction of the courts due to abuse or neglect. The CASA serves as the “eyes and ears” of the judge for children in foster care.
The littlest things sometimes mean the most. please send us a message at hhyinfo@heartsandhomes.org if you want to talk more about how you can help!
It’s Prom Season!
Some of our young ladies and young men were able to enjoy prom at their respective high schools last month. Helen Smith Group Home staff got their young ladies ready and looking like princesses! They all looked fabulous and they all had fun! Special shout-out to Rev. Dr. William E. Butler and First Lady Sonja Butler from Queen’s Chapel UMC for helping our young men from JumpStart Semi-Independent Living Program prepare for their prom and shoutout to Mr. Dion West, Program Manager for helping capture the weekend moment for his youth.
Happy Mother’s Day!
We celebrated our pregnant and parenting teen mothers from our Damamli Independent Living Program for Mother’s Day! These young ladies have faced many obstacles in their lives, but certainly show what it means to be a mother. It was a pleasure for HHY to celebrate them for all they have achieved – and for what’s to come!
Thanks to Adam!
Thanks to Adam for his kind donation to one of our foster kids! Adam was our long-time supporter and was recognized when he was a kid at one of our events for his outstanding work to help the kids at our programs.
