Our Warm Fuzzy committee gathers donated stuff animals, decorates them and hands them out to students and community members having a good or a bad day. Each Warm Fuzzy animal is then logged into a book tracking every animal that has been handed out to date. These friendly creatures also include a free hug coupon and the warm fuzzy tale.
Our club is very instrumental in community affairs, aiding victims of cancer and other illness to help support their financial needs. The club helped raise money for the Clayton, Jackson, and McGhie memorial in Duluth Minnesota, located on 1 st Street and 2 nd Avenue.
The club visits with Senior citizens and reaches out to youth members in our community for education awareness on substance abuse.

Board of Directors : The SAFHS Club is made up of a Board of Directors consisting of 3 freshmen seats, 3 sophomore seats and one alternative seat for both the freshmen and sophomore years. There is an elected treasurer and secretary.
Meetings : The Student Advocates For Human Services Club has regular scheduled board and club meetings. Our activities are overseen by a variety of sub-committees. Sub-committees are formed by club vote as needed. Examples of such sub-committees would be the Warm & Fuzzy committee, Raffle committee, Community Awareness Committee and most importantly a Thank-You committee, since we receive many valuable contributions from our local business that help us fulfill our endeavors.
