Each February, Sarah Heinz House members raise money for a worthy cause to demonstrate our care for our community and the good work others are doing in it. This year, Sarah Heinz House members have selected 412 Food Rescue as our recipient.
412 Food Rescue partners with food retailers, volunteer drivers, and nonprofit organizations to connect surplus food with individuals and families who are experiencing food insecurity. You can read more about their mission and how you can help here: https://412foodrescue.org/
While our events schedule is modified from that of previous years due to COVID-19, we are still looking forward to these fun activities for our members.
Please also be sure to contribute to the Penny Race, now taking place in our Great Hall between Starters/Preps and Juniors/Intermediates/Middler/Seniors!
