Join SHBHU on the third Sunday of every month serving meals with a smile to those experiencing homelessness in the Downtown Raleigh area. OCOC is the result of many organizations working together in an effort to help close the hunger gap! SHBHU volunteers will bring food, drinks, and paper products to help support the main meal. Volunteers arrive at OCOC at 1:00pm to help set up the food line and we are usually finished cleaning up about 2:30pm. Volunteers will receive an email a couple days prior with specifics on what to bring with them. Any age can volunteer and serve with a smile!

Hello SHBHU Ambassadors and Small Handers!
It’s Ambassador Emma Murtaugh here again with some exciting news!
We had a local SHBHU family propose a COMPASSIONATE idea to partner with a school in New York called Clarkstown South High School. Let’s all join this team for a great cause!
They are fundraising to send gift cards to SHBHU so we can send them to our neighboring students and teachers impacted by Hurricane Florence. They have already raised a lot of money! So kind! They want us to join them in this fundraiser and collection drive.
This is a wonderful chance to show compassion and raise a lot of money for our NC friends hurting right now. One school who we will be helping said they have 96 teachers in their district who lost EVERYTHING! The number of students in need is even higher! The SHBHU adult leadership will of course assist us but we will need you to help us take off running with it if you want to be on this team.
Lastly, we will also be having out Quarterly OPEN HOUSE Compassion Meeting at Goldfish Swim School on Kildaire Farm Rd on October 22nd from 6-8pm. Bring a non-perishable food donation or an item on the list below we were given by NC schools in need! At the meeting, we will welcome all interested and new members, all of our NEW Green Hope High School and Oak Grove Ambassadors, update everyone on all past and present Compassion Missions and of course have a Hurricane Relief COMPASSION PROJECT! At 7pm, donate $5 to the “5 for Florence” Hurricane Relief Compassion Project or bring a donation item below and you will even be able to SWIM for a bit! It is going to be a FUN meeting. Join us!
SHBHU, for the community and run by the community!
Thanks Ambassadors!

I would like to collect these items in the next few days. I can pick them up and deliver them. Please email me with any additional questions at

Triangle Families,
Hello! It is Ambassador Emma Murtaugh and I have some amazing news!
We are very excited to announce the 4th annual SHBHU Small Hands Big Hearts Java Jive Jog 10k/5k on August 25th! For three years we have partnered with Java Jive to organize this FUN race. It is always a HUGE success and a VERY memorable race morning! Through the community and Sponsor support and participation in this race, kindness and generosity, the SHBHU’s mission to nurture children’s instinctive compassion continues year after year.
As many of you know, SHBHU provides accessible year-round volunteer opportunities and also is a resource for our youth to to propose, lead and organize Compassion Projects for inspiring causes their hearts are personally drawn to. SHBHU is for the ENTIRE community and run by the community. Together, we will nurture the next philanthropic and kind generation who will be leading the world.
This year we also have a VERY SPECIAL added entity to our race. We have also partnered with the Mariam Clinic in Cary. We are so grateful for their partnership and support. They will be helping us obtain Race Day Sponsors, volunteering, attending the race so that we can continue the SHBHU mission in our community. Thank you Mariam Clinic! We are so thankful for you!
The Mariam Clinic has very special story as well. They began seeing patients on October 21, 2007. Now, more than 2,000 uninsured patients later, the clinic is still one of the only non-emergency room options for healthcare available on Sundays. The Mariam Clinic is an interfaith health care organization pioneering in an integrated approach to health and well-being. The goal of this special clinic is to provide culturally sensitive healthcare for the uninsured and build a healthier society through:

Service – providing free medical care to the uninsured

Responsibility – helping patients to help themselves through preventive health care programs

Interaction – bringing together diverse volunteers who find common ground through achieving these goals.

You can read more about the very important and inspiring work they do for our community on their website by
Just as in the previous years, in order to be accessible and include EVERYONE, there will be a 5k run/walk and also a 10k run. We will also again have FREE REGISTRATION CODES for anyone with special needs (physical and financial) who would like to join us that day in the race. Our Ambassador Teen Buddies are also on standby and excited to be by anyones side walking or running the race.
