Humanitarian
Helping Fellow Humans
At FHS H.E.A.T., we are committed to serving the citizens of our community and the globe through philanthropic efforts. Our passion is to encourage inclusivity, acceptance, and understanding of others and to strive to uplift the underprivileged. H.E.A.T. members shape the world by raising funds and advocating for several human-centered issues, such as global famine, domestic police brutality, and impoverished children.
PAST PROJECTS
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to provide our members multiple ways to help out virtually, from the safety of their homes. We have listed several actions pertaining to Human, Environmental, and Animal causes ranging from petitions, virtual letters, charities to donate to, and easy lifestyle changes. We have also listed numerous documentaries and articles that allow our members to become more educated about our world situation. All of these actions, documentaries, and articles embody pos
FHS H.E.A.T. members came together for a second Feed the City volunteer event at The Star. We helped make sandwiches and snacks for people in need in the local Dallas/Fort Worth Area. Feed The City is an opportunity through the TangoTab organization. They host events all across the country to help reduce the hunger in our nation. TangoTab is an app which lets you “check-in” at a restaurant to donate a free meal to a person in need. They have over 100,000 restaurants on their app.
Members helped set up and run the annual staff appreciation dinner event hosted by FHS H.E.A.T. We provided an assortment of foods, decorated the cafeteria tables, and had conversations with the cafeteria and janitorial staff. The actual event was held from 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM. FHS H.E.A.T. hosts this staff appreciation dinner annually in order to thank our wonderful custodial and cafeteria staff who are often underappreciated.
Members assembled coloring books and made blankets for patients in the NICU at Children's Health Hospital. The blankets were created with fleece blanket material; they were cut and tied on the ends.These items were a great way to reduce the cost of supplies at the NICU as handcrafted donations are always needed.
H.E.A.T. members and UNICEF members came together to create cards of encouragement for orphaned children in India through Miracle Foundation. Miracle Foundation is a nonprofit organization that brings care to orphaned and vulnerable children around the world. Their main focus is on providing care to orphans in India as they have over 300 orphanages in India alone.
