Projects
What do we do?
Each year, SI of Huntsville participates and sponsors many projects in our local community. Whether it is wrapping Christmas packages for HelpLine; filling Christmas stockings for Christmas Charities to make Christmas happier for needy children; providing birthday cards to Lincoln Elementary School; serving a “carb” meal to the runners at the Liz Hurley Ribbon Run for breast cancer awareness; hosting our annual fundraiser; participating in one of the many Domestic Violence Awareness Month activities and events; or sponsoring Human Trafficking Awareness Day in Madison County, our local Soroptimists have been “Making a Difference” in the Huntsville community since the club began in 1969.
