Summer
vacation should be a welcome relief for all children,
but
for those who rely on government subsidized school lunch
programs, summer recess can mean the loss of their only
nutritional meal of the day. To make sure that no child goes hungry
during the summer when school lunch is not available, HRH
provides every child with all of the staples needed to make
a
nutritional lunch for every day school is not in session.
This includes sandwich makings such as peanut butter, jelly,
tuna
and
bread, as well as milk, juice, crackers, and more.

After School Academy at SES In October 2006, HRH established a small academic tutoring program at Southampton Elementary School, responding to a need identified by the teaching staff there. Often, the students who can benefit the most from tutoring and extra help in the early years are from families who cannot afford to pay for such service. HRH has contracted for tutoring in basic reading, writing and math with Hampton Tutorial Acdemy, which is owned and operated by two local teachers who are employed by the East Hampton School District. Twenty SES students were selected by their teachers, and the tutoring takes place during the After School Program four days per week. top |

Serve Our Seniors SOS
offers a helping hand for small maintenance and repair jobs that often pose insurmountable problems for seniors living on fixed or little income. Often at the mercy of disreputable contractors and unable to do the work themselves, seniors – especially those who live alone -- have a hard time with tasks such as house repairs, yard work, and appliance maintenance. Through the SOS program, we send a handyman to take care of these tasks at no or reduced cost. Call 283-6415. |

for the Caregiver

Back Pack Kids Kids who are poor know they are poor. Poverty is a painful reality that is constantly reinforced every day. HRH recognizes the importance of having confidence for a fresh start on that first day of school. “One day a year,” director Mary Ann Tupper explains, “these kids get to go to school like everyone else. They get a new backpack filled with school supplies, new sneakers and a new outfit. |

KISS - Kids in Safety Seats
Will help keep all local children safely buckled up in appropriate car seats. Because the law requires children up to age seven to be in car seats, HRH lends car seats to those who cannot afford to buy them. Once the child outgrows the seat, it can be turned in for the next larger size. Those needing seats must provide a prescription from their pediatrician indicating the weight of the child and the need for the seat. |
