Here's What's Happening AT SHEM...

Community Christmas Box Program

A community wide supported Christmas Meal Box Program is sponsored by local churches and civic organizations. Each year, there are typically between 250 and 300 holiday meal boxes distributed. Applications are available at SHEM (1115 Long Street).. All applications must be received with 2 working telephone numbers where you can be reached at SHEM by the posted date on application form.

Salvation Army Bell Ringing  

SHEM and our band of bell ringers will be out in force this year at Bi-Mart. We again are partnering with the Salvation Army starting in November. All of the funds raised through the bell-ringing project are used to purchase backpacks for children in our community.

Back To School Celebration 

SHEM volunteers coordinated the back to school event for Sweet Home School District students this year at the COmmunity Health Fair Day at the Sweet Home High School grounds, distributing several hundred backpacks filled with school supplies, before dispersing the remainder to local schools.
