As we officially kick off the Fall and Thanksgiving holiday season, we at Riverwood are filled with gratitude for the wonderful year ahead. Just as we have done in years past, we’re excited to extend a helping hand to those in need within the Lake Houston/Humble area. This year, we are once again partnering with Humble Area Assistance Ministries (HAAM) for our annual Food and Hygiene Drive.

HAAM is an interfaith organization dedicated to assisting community residents in crisis by providing essential resources that help them move toward self-sufficiency. Their services are vital to many families in our community, especially during the holiday season.

This year, we’re setting an exciting new goal — let’s fill the entire Riverwood Band trailer with donations for HAAM! Every can, box, or bottle adds up, and with everyone’s participation, we can make a huge impact for local families in need. Let’s show the power of our Riverwood Band community and overflow that trailer with kindness and generosity!

Food and hygiene items will be collected each morning before school in the front vestibule. When students drop off their items, they’ll let us know who their 4th period teacher is so their class can earn credit toward the friendly competition. The Fine Arts Department is leading the collection, and Student Council will reward the classes that gather the most donations!
