Happy August! We're so happy to start off our 5th month by announcing that we have held over 1000 virtual visits between our youth volunteers and seniors across the country. This week, we introduced our new volunteers, Fay-Ling, Ethan, Tondum and Nick! We're always excited to expand the LHA family. Many of you have been wondering what'll happen to LHA once school starts. Our goal is to continue to grow and expand LHA for as long as we can. We will adapt to new circumstances, continue to work with new facilities and welcome new volunteers.

Shout out to Carissa, our volunteer of the month for logging the hours of meetings during July!

She also plays volleyball, and has a huge heart for dogs. She is passionate about making others feel heard and loved.
