Southampton Intermediate School Food Drive
Students help stock the shelves at the Food Pantry.
2007 - The food drive was organized by the SIS Student Council. A group of student leaders delivered the canned goods to the HRH pantry just time for Thanksgiving. HRH Director Mary Ann Tupper gave the students a tour of the facility and talked with them about other opportunities for helping those in need. "The world is changing, and one generation can't do everything. It's our turn now," said eighth-grader Juliette Behringer. "This whole experience has propelled my desire to help others."
Supported by funds from the Polar Bear Plunge, this year's Giving Day was bigger than ever. It is a labor of love that takes months of planning, directed by HRH Board President Nannette Meyers, who volunteers thousands of hours all year long, getting ready for the Big Day. "I'm grateful to so many local people, who help with this event every year. Everyone who works on this has a happier holiday themselves."

Helping Katrina Victims
Southampton Sends Help to New Orleans
HRH served
as the staging area for receiving and packaging donated supplies to
send to Hurricane Katrina victims in the Gulf States. Volunteers worked
for more than a week sorting and packing donated clothes, pampers, food
and school supplies. Three different trucks were loaded and sent from
Southampton to carefully pre-arranged sites in the New Orleans
area where recipients were waiting to meet the trucks and make sure
the supplies were properly distributed.
Director Mary Ann Tupper received an award on behalf of HRH from NY State Senator Ken LaValle, who sponsored a Volunteerism Recognition event in April, selecting several charities and organizations from Suffolk County to be honored for their service to their local communities.

RUN FOR HUNGER RAISES $16,400 FOR HRH
Southampton Intermediate School students turned out in their sneakers on Monday, June 5th in a competitive run which combined healthy exercise with community service. This year, the Run for Hunger raised $16,400.
This annual event raises funds for the Lunch Box Kids Program of Human Resources of the Hamptons. For children who receive federally-subsidized lunch in school, Lunch Box Kids provides a nutritious lunch every day that school is not in session during the summer months.
Organized by the administrative staff of SIS, the Run for Hunger has several categories of competition, with prizes for the winners. Students get friends and family to sponsor their participation with donations to HRH.
The Lunch Box Kids Program receives additional support from many local residents, organizations, and businesses. Each year, Southampton Masonry provides the T-shirts.
