Hilton Head Christian Academy's Middle School Chapel on Friday, November 7, 2025 was a meaningful reminder of what it looks like to put faith into action.

Led HHCA's by Spiritual Life Team, students partnered with Hugaroo, a nonprofit organization that provides new stuffed animals to children who have faced trauma, serious illness, or other challenges.

During the event, students helped assemble 1750 stuffed animals in just 40 minutes. Each was tagged with a handwritten note sharing the love of Jesus.

The bears will soon be delivered to children throughout the region as a tangible reminder that they are seen, loved, and not alone.

The project gave students a hands-on opportunity to connect their faith to real-world service, and it left a lasting impression on everyone involved.

Watching our students serve with compassion was incredible. It was a powerful example of how God can use even small acts, like tying a ribbon or writing a note, to make a lasting impact in someone’s life.
