1. Fowler’s Mission Helping Hands~Feeding the Hungry~Warming Hearts HINDS COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT NURSE ORGANIZATION COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT 2015-2016

2. Background: Fowler’s Mission A Student Nurse Organization (SNO) community service project to provide comfort and nourishment to needy individuals in urban Jackson, MS and surrounding communities Activities: provide care packages (consisting of gloves, knit caps, socks and hand warmers) and nourishment (sandwiches and water/coffee) to homeless members of the community Motto: Helping Hands, Feeding the Hungry, Warming Hearts

3. Origination (How it came to be…) How one little boy can inspired others to act… Fowler noticed a homeless man under a bridge and thought he looked cold and hungry subsequently gathering offerings for him. This story inspired a small group to plan a mission to provide care packages during cold weather and food for nourishment to the homeless in urban Jackson. And now here we are!

4. And then it rained! (plans changed for the better) Once the day was scheduled, it rained and plans had to be postponed. This was a blessing in disguise as the delay actually allowed more opportunities for people to get on board. Donations seemed to rain down on us at that point.
