When students at Averill Park High School need to raise funds for a class trip, they choose Hoffman Helping Hands to get them there.
Every other year, they take a trip to France and fundraising is a key element in keeping down the families' costs. Teacher Jeff Brown has chosen to use Hoffman Helping Hands three times - raising about $1000 per trip for a total of $3000.
He and his students keep coming back to Helping Hands because the Helping Hands staff is so helpful and the Hoffman Car Wash is a product that everyone can use.
"I was surprised at how easy it is. You can imagine how many catalogues and pamphlets I get as a teacher in a high school about raising funds. Hoffman's is quite easy. It's local; it's a phone call away; information comes through the mail very quickly. ... It's a local organization so it's accessible to many of the people here in Averill Park and in the Capital Region."
