It's good to be HIP - and helpful!

Over 1,000 baby items were donated to infants in need by students all over Calgary and area in January. Many thanks to Humanity in Practice (www.behip.ca), especially their H!PKids program! And to each student who participated, an A+!

The donations were dropped off at NeighbourLink's warehouse on Friday, Feb. 4 (see photos below), from which they will then be distributed to babies living in Calgary without adequate diapers, formula, toys and more throughout the coming months.

The month-long donation drive was part of H!PKids' October to May efforts to help nonprofit agencies meet their goals, at the same time as planting seeds of volunteerism amongst the next generation. February's project? Helping Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary prepare families for time spent in the wilderness at Camp Adventure in Kananaskis!
