How Volunteers Can Make a Difference

Our families need reassurance, stability, and practical support during this uncertain time. If you feel led to help, here are meaningful ways you can step in:

1.        Reach Out Personally

Call your student or their parent to check in. If you need contact information, let us know we’ll assist.

2.        Help Maintain Normalcy

LHCC will continue meeting with families on Tuesday evenings. Your presence matters, please join us to provide consistency and encouragement.

3.        Offer Transportation Support

Ask if students need a ride and offer help when possible.

4.        Assess Practical Needs

If families need tangible assistance—rides to school, doctor visits, grocery runs—inform LHCC staff so we can coordinate a plan.

5.        Commit to Prayer

Lift our fearful students and anxious parents in prayer for peace and protection.

6.        Encourage Calm and Care

Remind families that they are valued and supported. A simple word of reassurance can make a big difference.
