Partnership with Operation Be Kind!

Our "HCE Community Programs" Team is excited to announce our first event of the year: The Operation Be Kind "Trunk or Treat" - a partnership with ICEC. We'll be helping to set up and host the organization's Trunk or Treat event on October 24th. Click here for more info!
Please note: this is NOT an event for HCE students to trick-or-treat. We are volunteering for ICEC's event for children with special needs. 

2 great options to support this event!

1) Donate candy/treats/snacks for the event (bring your items to HCE's front office by October 19th). More details.

2) Host a car at the event's Trunk or Treat event on Saturday, October 24th (9 AM - Noon) Get the info! 

Volunteer Opportunities!

So many ways to get involved - in-school opportunities, at-home jobs - the list is updated weekly!

Remember: All of these events have been done before - and we have the tools to make sure you are a success. You won't be starting from zero - and our structure is set up so that every volunteer role has support and guidance!
