Bais Rivkah High School Girls Assist 200 Families

Helping Our Own (HOO) is an organization of Bais Rivkah High School that volunteers with families with new babies, those needing the assistance of Bikur Cholim, and with various families and individuals in the community.

Combined, these volunteers visit over 200 families and 35 seniors.

Here are two activities that enhanced their weekly visits and highlight their continued dedication to our community.

Chocolate chip cookie dough was shared between HOO volunteers and recipients as a way of bringing happiness and joy to those involved. The volunteers continue to give of themselves and truly embody the phrase: “A Chosid is a Giver.”

Below are some testimonials from a few of the 400 HOO volunteers at Bais Rivkah High School who generously volunteer to help those in our community.

“It’s fulfilling to do HOO and to see the mother so happy when we come.” – Shaina Perl, 9th Grade

“The kids run to give me a hug when I come.” – A, 12th Grade

“The look on their faces when I walk in makes me happy.” – Chaiky Goldstein, 11th Grade

“When we leave the house the children are sad to see us go, and eagerly wait for our next visit.” – Chava Sternberg, 9th Grade

“The look on their faces when I walk in makes my whole week better.” – Sarah Niasoff, 9th Grade

The girls continue to make an impact in the lives of the parents and the children of HOO families. Read below to hear what parents and children have to say about their HOO experience.

“We are so grateful to have our HOO volunteer just about every Friday! It makes a huge difference!!” – Mushka, a mother of 6 KA”H

“Every Thursday the volunteers take my children to the JCM. I’m not sure who appreciates it more, me or my children.” – Gittel, a mother of 2 KA”H

“The HOO girls do my kriya-homework with me and play games with me. I love when they come.” – Rivka, age 5

“I enjoyed baking cookies. Thank you HOO for the cookie dough. I also like the HOO activity books. I can’t wait to get the next one!” – Ephraim, age 8.

Thank you Rabbi Sholom Goldstein for supporting this project and Mrs. Esther Edelman and the entire Bais Rivka high school kitchen staff, for making the dough.

HOO is proud to announce a new coloring book that promotes and inspires kindness. The book tells a story that encourages chessed and is complete with beautifully detailed pictures and illustrations.

The HOO volunteers have shared this beautiful illustration with approximately 230 HOO families. You can join in on the learning and fun by printing your free PDF copy here.
