Want to Help?
Ways to give to GHH in the coming months.
Sponsor a child!
Children that rely on the free and reduced lunch programs at their schools go hungry on the weekends! For just $30 a month you can sponsor a motel child to have weekend meals when the school cafeterias are closed.
Host a Food Drive!
GHH is always looking for an enthusiastic group to host a food drive. The food you collect feeds hungry children right here in Orange County.
|
Nana's Needs!
We are always in need of food donations and other necessities. Consider donating items like canned goods, peanut butter and healthy cereals. All foods should be nonperishable and in non-breakable containers. (No glass, please!)
For more information or to schedule a delivery please contact our office at
