WORD OF THE WEEK
Hoover Helps HUNGER CHALLENGE - HHS/SPHS Game THIS FRIDAY
The Hoover Helps Hunger Challenge is THIS Friday night at the Hoover/Spain Park Football Game! This is the ONE fundraising event of the year for Hoover Helps, a local non-profit helping Hoover children who are food insecure. 100% of the funds you donate stay here in Hoover and will be used to help children in Hoover. Please donate at hooverhelps.org and thank you for your support! Go BUCS - GO JAGS!
SOCTOBER
Socks are needed for the homeless in the winter, but they’re one of the least commonly donated items. Help the BUCS Community Service Club by donating a spare pair of socks for our SOCTOBER event at Bumpus. All you need to do to participate is get your hands on a pair of socks (used is perfectly fine, as long as they’re clean and without holes!) and deposit them in the bin on your hall. Just about everyone has a spare pair laying around, and every sock counts!
