Humane Society Needs You!

The Harris County Humane Society is a licensed, non-profit organization that rescues homeless animals, cares for them and works to get them adopted. We are currently in a temporary location and are raising funds to build a shelter in Harris County. Several people from St. Nicholas are volunteering by cleaning the shelter, fostering dogs, working at Dog Gone Good Bargains in Pine Mountain and  PetSmart on Saturday. We will all tell you it is the most rewarding work we have ever done. If you can help contact Linda Sawyer, Volunteer Coordinator  at 706-582-3813 or hogback@wavetel.us. You can also find more information about the Humane Society on their Facebook Page.

From Hope to Cure at Relay For Life

One of the events I missed in my first year at St. Nicholas was Relay For Life. I had a pre-scheduled conference to attend before I even heard of St. Nicholas, so I unfortunately missed out on last year’s event. This year, though, I made sure I was around for this event. Read more

Habitat For Humanity Board Replacement

For the past year, I have been on the board of Harris County’s Habitat for Humanity board. HFH is a non-profit organization that builds new homes for low-income families. This past year, the board has been interviewing potential candidates for their next project and finally found one that qualified. The next few months should be very productive for the board as they prepare for this new project.

The board meets monthly on the third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at Hamilton United Methodist Church. Since we have started our St. Nicholas Academy, I am no longer able to attend the meetings, and would like a replacement from St. Nicholas. If anyone is interested, please e-mail me at fatherjeff@stnicholashamilton.org.
