Hello SHBHU members, it’s Ambassador Tony and I have a few updates.

SHBHU Western NC Relief Effort
Thank you to everyone who has assisted in ANY WAY in the SHBHU Western NC Relief Effort.  We have had TONS of donations come in and all have been delivered to various partners with trucks and taken to Western NC. Thank you to all of the SHBHU members who have helped over the past weeks in delivering these items to the trucks. We will continue this effort throughout the year although needs are always changing. Please don’t hesitate to suggest ways that you hear may help best.  Updated donation list will be posted this weekend on the website and social media for the week of October 28th – November 1st. What we do know is they need these ASAP! Let us know if you can purchase and donate one of these heaters.

If any Ambassador Teens who are 16 or older and would like to volunteer with Samaritan’s Purse here is the link. CLICK HERE This organization has been doing amazing things there and need all the help they can get.

We are also discussing ways we can help the Black Mountain Home that was also devastated. You can learn more about what they provide for children on their website and facebook page. The landslide obliterated four of their buildings and severely damaged six more, including the dining hall, a staff member’s home, guest cabins, and recreation buildings.  Thankfully, none of the employees or children they care for were injured but they need a lot of love and support right now as well. They are collecting information for those who want to volunteer. Click HERE to sign up. 

November Compassion Meeting!
Date and locations TBD.

• Brainstorm on ways to best help Western NC Relief Effort Phase 2
• Western NC Relief Effort collection drive
• Compassion Service Project: Oak City Cares and Meals on Wheels breakfast and snack bags

SHBHU “Sunrise for Seniors Citizens AND their Pet Companions Breakfast Bags of Love” Compassion Mission for Meals and Wheels

The SHBHU Ambassadors on this team are leading “Sunrise for Seniors AND their pet companions Breakfast Bags of Love” in 2024 in partnership with Meals on Wheels and the SPCA of Wake County. Please let us know if you can donate, decorate and or pack breakfast bags for our senior citizens in need in our community at home OR at the November meeting.  If making at home, please have your decorated and packed bags turned in before the delivery date in mid November We also need cat and dog food donations. Let us know if you would like to also volunteer to make the delivery in November to Meals on Wheels.  We drop the pet food off at the SPCA due to storage capacity at Meals on Wheels and they will then coordinate with Meals on Wheels.  At the time of dropoff at the SPCA is a GREAT TIME to also give the animals LOVE!

Thank you!
