Project H.O.O.D. News and Updates
Dear Friends and Donors,
We are nearly a year into the Coronavirus health pandemic that continues to affect our way of life. Many of us have lost loved ones to the virus, and many have become sick themselves. Let us all keep one another in our prayers as we navigate these challenging times.
Project H.O.O.D. and people like you have remained committed to our mission of ending violence and poverty during this very tough year. Together, we assisted thousands of people through extremely challenging times and would like to update you on our progress:

We began a Virtual Learning Program to assist parents with homeschooling
Every other weekend in October, we passed out over 3,000 food boxes
