-- Holliday’s Helping Hands (HHH), a nonprofit that helps homeless and women released from incarceration reenter society as productive citizens, is “kicking off” back-to-school season with a kickball tournament and backpack giveaway on Saturday, August 2 from 10 am - 12 pm at Don Lee Field at Torrance High School (2315 Plaza Del Amo, Torrance), announced Miss Katina Holliday, HHH founder and president. The festivities will take on a carnival atmosphere with games, prizes, treats like shaved ice and funnel cakes, raffles and special live performances at no cost to the public.

“The economy has stretched the finances of so many families and we hope that by sponsoring these festivities, we can bring a little relief as they prepare their children for back to school,” says Miss Holliday. "We hold similar 'back-to-school' events in my hometown of Aberdeen, MS and they have become a highly anticipated annual event. Adding the kickball tournament of the festivities along with all is icing on the cake for this year's celebration."

Miss Holliday established her eponymous nonprofit in 2018 to help LA County’s general homeless population as well as young mothers recently released from incarceration. Holliday’s Helping Hands (HHH) has created a formula that has been especially productive for clients that involves them developing “roadmaps” for their futures. These are detailed, comprehensive plans that help them hone their lifestyle skills, plan home budgets, prepare for job interviews and become good neighbors and citizens. The nonprofit also offers its Shine Ambassador Program, which trains and prepares them for jobs in various fields including food service, landscape maintenance, screen printing and customer service. HHH currently boasts a workforce of 200 ranging from social work to maintenance. Its annual fundraising gala held in November each year has proven to be an important milestone, raising much-needed funds to continue its mission. The public are encouraged to attend the black-tie event to show their support to reverse homelessness in LA County.
