We just wrapped up sending out the final round of checks from our 2026 HUHO Gala Season of Giving!
This year, a total of $28,500 was distributed to four missions serving people both locally and internationally.
Food For Children received the largest local grant ever awarded through HUHO: $15,000 toward their box truck replacement project. To help meet this significant need, our team secured more than 28 sponsors, over 40 unique silent auction items, 20 raffle baskets, and a successful 50/50 raffle. Our featured artist also generously created a beautiful charcoal sketch, "Come to the Table," to present to Food For Children, along with a travel bag for their president, our 2026 Local Citizen of the Year.
As we reflect on this year's Season of Giving, we are so grateful to New Life Home, Butterflies Are Free to Fly, and the Cairo Women's Wellness Center for sharing updates, photos, letters of acknowledgment, and stories of impact with our board, volunteers, donors, sponsors, and guests. Their ongoing encouragement, communication, and partnership helped connect our supporters directly to the impact of their generosity and strengthened our volunteers throughout the year.
Seeing the tangible difference these gifts are making in the lives of those they serve is one of the greatest joys of our work.
To every attendee, sponsor, donor, volunteer, prayer partner, and board member: thank you. Because of your generosity, communities are being strengthened, practical needs are being met, and hope is being shared both here at home and around the world.
As we close another season, we are filled with gratitude for the many people and mission partners who made this year possible. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your stories.
Stay tuned as we prayerfully consider what the future holds for HUHO!
