Other Ways to Help
Host an Event
On Behalf Of events are a great way to give back while having fun! Do you have an annual block party? Or, perhaps you have a garage sale planned. We encourage people and businesses looking for a fun way to support SHC to host an event on our behalf and donate the proceeds to help our clients.
