Hometown Help
Many of the kids at Home of the Innocents wake
up each day and feel the pain of their past.
They’re constantly reminded of the struggles they
have endured at such a young age. They are in
need of a smile, a helping hand and a friendly
reminder that they are loved!
A group of employees from Humana’s Agent
Retail Sales Operations Support department,
also known as Team Mills, decided to give their
time and impact our kids’ lives in a unique way.
The group of 20 employees made motivational
canvases for our residential cottages where
they are hung for the kids to see every day. The
canvases serve as a small reminder that they’re
important. The littlest things such as an inspirational
reminder make the biggest impact for our kids
here at the Home.
Team Mills enjoyed using their creative
talents to come up with quotes and
images to decorate the canvases.
Julie Spry, Volunteer Services
Manager, says, “the work they did
goes to show that anyone can make
an impact for our kids, you do not have
to have exceptional skills to volunteer
your time here.”

Many of the kids living here have gone through the
unimaginable. When volunteers give their time to make
inspirational art, help with homework, assist staff with
organizing donations, doing administrative work
or cleaning our campus, every skill shared with
