HMUH is hippity-hopping through April! With the help of three middle school girls who’ve made helping us their MYP project, we’ll be putting together approximately 80 Easter baskets, along with breakfast bags for children in need referred from school this month.
The girls have set up a box at Brother’s Four Pizzeria in Center Moriches to collect cereal towards this effort. For anyone who might like to help make Easter happier for these children who often never get baskets, we will still be collecting Easter basket fillers through April 7: medium chocolate bunnies, four-pack Peeps, small bottles of bubbles, small boxes of chalk, gummy bunny fruit snacks, ring pops, and other candies (nothing containing nuts, please).
Helping Makes U Happy will also be donating to the following worthy causes in April: the Team Jack annual basket auction benefitting Mothers Against Drunk Driving, held on April 5 at East Moriches Elementary School; and the Chamber of Commerce of the Mastics & Shirley Spring Fest, held April 12 at William Floyd HS from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., which is a great, free family event.
Also, please come out on May 3 and support the Mastic Beach Ambulance Pasta Night Fundraiser from 5 to 8 p.m., which HMUH is sponsoring. We are honored to do this for these amazing volunteers who do so much to help others.
Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door (kids under 6 free) for dinner, cake, coffee, tea, music, food, fun! Contact the ambulance for more info. And please follow our Helping Makes U Happy Facebook page for information on our upcoming Trifecta Casino Night, celebrating 10 years of happy helping and two very important birthdays.
This will be held May 16, 7 to 11 p.m. at La Buena Vida in Moriches.
Please contact us at 631-848-9008 if you’re interested in sponsorships or tickets!
Happy Easter, all!
