The HUMA-N Project

Donation Drive Scrapbook

This project started with a simple goal - how much can can we accomplish when we bring a local network of individuals together to do good? It started off with a simple tag line as well - Help You, Help Me, Help All of Us. That, right there, is what HUMA-N Stands for. Help U, Me, All of us, Now. It isn't just a humble request, it was a hypothesis. Our Community is our Ecology. When we choose to give or to serve, we not only help others; we help ourselves and we contribute to bettering our community as a whole. Each and every one of you who gave a little, a lot, and anywhere in between - you all are shining examples of what community can be!
