Give a Boost!
Teach your student to care for others! Use “Give a Boost” to teach this valuable lesson! Talk about it as a family, and discuss what you can do. Some of our OHVA families are in need of food and other items as winter approaches.
Partner with OHVA Boosters and OHVA staff to “Give a Boost” to some of our families this season. The amount isn't as important as the timeless lesson you teach! Together, we can help! Donate below.
