Thanks from Hands On Gulf Coast

We received the following letter from Hands on Gulf Coast, which is the organization we supported as part of the Hopkins Hustle.

Dear Hopkns Ultimate Club,
Thank you for your recent donation to Hands On Gulf Coast of $250 and athletic jerseys. We very much appreciate your support and hope that you are as excited as we are about the possibilities our currrent journey toward becoming a locally-based community organization presents.

Hands On Gulf Coast envisions a community where all individuals discover their power to make a difference and are equipped as active, engaged citizens. Our mission is to inspire, equip and mobilize people to address critical needs of the Mississippi Gulf Coast through volunteerism. We've engaged over 5000 volunteers and served over 645,000 hours in the past two years, and provide volunteer opportunities in a diverse set of focus areas, including youth development, long term recovery from Hurricane Katrina, green space development and community outreach. As an affiliated organization of the Points of Light & Hands on Network, HOGC is part of a national movement to engage volunteers in creating healthy communities in vibrant democracies around the world.

Thank you again for your generous support. We are glad our work connected with you, and look forward to updating you regularly on our progress in the coming year. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Caitlin Brooking
Acting Director, Hands On Gulf Coast
