Hello AMHH Supporters
We hope everyone is staying cool in these hot Summer months!  We sure are trying to.  Last month's school supply drive was a big help in ensuring children of single moms go back to school prepared!  We truly are blessed to have such a wonderful community standing beside us!

Bare Necessities
Our Bare Necessities shelves are pretty well stocked, however there are a few areas that are very depleted and we need your help!  Help us fill the shelves back up by holding a Bare Necessities Drive at your workplace, church, neighborhood or with your friends and family.  We are more than happy to come pick up any donated items or you can drop them by the office anytime Saturday's from 10 am - 2 pm or by appointment!  Here are our current top needs:
  • Toilet Paper
  • Paper Towels
  • Laundry Soap
  • Dish Soap
  • Hand Soap
  • Cleaners
  • Zip Lock Bags
  • Trash Bags
  • Baby Wipes
  • Tissues

Thank You to Our Community!
What a smashing success the Rotarian Flamingo Flocking was!  A huge thank you to Frank and Son's Moving & Storage for helping put it all together!  We are so grateful for your partnership!

Thank you to Modern Woodman of America for your matching donation of $1,000!  Because of your generous donation children of single moms will go back to school fully prepared!

Thank you Cole, Scott & Kissane, P.A. for holding a Back to School Drive at their office and collecting a generous amount of supplies for our kids and monetary donations of $850!  We are were able to send our kids back to school with everything they needed.

Trike-A-Thon Fundraiser
The purpose of the Trike-A-Thon is to raise money to help support single moms and their children in SWFL.  The event will encourage good sportsmanship, physical education and bike safety.  Each child will race other children in their age group.  In addition to the race there will be a Karate and martial arts demonstration, face painting, fun actives and fun vendor booths to visit and enjoy.

Children have the opportunity to collect donations to win various prizes.  Donations can be collected prior to the event.  children are not required to obtain donations in order to participate but every donation helps and stays in our community.  All you need to participate is your child's bike, helmet and pledge sheet donations if you were able to obtain any. 

For some added fun there will also be an adult relay race where parents have the opportunity to participate in the Adult Trike event.  Use your child's "trike" and compete for the win!  Prizes will be awarded to the winning team.

Event Date: Saturday, September 10th, 2016
Event Time: 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
