Ohemmaa Palace at VCU Hosts Toy Delivery Event for Housing Families First Shelter
On Monday, December 9th, at 3:00 PM, the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) chapter of Ohemmaa Palace (OHP) will bring holiday cheer to families in need with a special toy delivery event at the Housing Families First shelter in Richmond, Virginia. This thoughtful initiative is spearheaded by Whitney Ballagh, the chapter's Community Outreach Chair, demonstrating the organization's unwavering commitment to uplifting the community during the holiday season.
Housing Families First, a vital shelter in Richmond, provides families experiencing homelessness with the resources they need to transition into permanent housing. Recognizing the importance of joy and stability during the holidays, OHP has worked tirelessly to collect toys and other gifts to ensure the children at the shelter experience the magic of the season.
This event is part of OHP's larger mission to foster empowerment, compassion, and community support. Whitney Ballagh, with her dedication to community outreach, has collaborated with chapter members and supporters to organize a meaningful and impactful experience for the shelter's residents.
Through this initiative, OHP hopes to inspire smiles and create memories that remind families of the power of kindness and collective action. The event will not only highlight the spirit of giving but also strengthen the chapter's connection to the Richmond community.
Ohemmaa Palace at VCU invites members and supporters to continue contributing to similar projects and to stand with them in their mission of spreading love, support, and empowerment in every corner of the community.
