Hike (for more than) the heck of it!

What is so great about hiking?

1. The scenery
2. Experiencing nature through all your senses.
3. The camaraderie of many like-minded people.
4. The Shenanigans.

What could make hiking even more wonderful?!

5. Bringing a wrapped toy to donate to my cause!

I'm a counselor at Northeast Guidance Center and work with many underprivileged and homeless families. After counseling many of these families and children, I realized that hardly any of them will be receiving any presents for Christmas this year. My program was privileged enough to be donated a space to provide a "Santa Bowl" for these families this Christmas so that the families can bowl together and eat pizza. Now we're looking for people to donate new wrapped toys under $10 for ages 2 - 18 so that these kids can possibly receive a present this year! I will be leading 3 hikes before our Santa bowl. I hope you can join us for the hike and donate a present each time. My program serves 126 kids.

So come out to hike and make a kid happy all at the same time!

P.S. I'll post pictures of the kids receiving their presents on this site after our Santa Bowl so you can see all their happy faces!
