Dear Friends of SNAP,
We hope this finds you and yours doing well during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. It’s been a challenging time for so many in our community. We can’t wait to see our wonderful SNAP participants, mentors, and supporters in person!
With the fall approaching, the SNAP board would like to update you on future programs. We are monitoring the Massachusetts and MIAA guidelines and hope to be able to offer a few sessions of hockey, soccer, and flag football later this fall.
In the meantime, we will be offering our yoga/Zumba program via Zoom. It will begin on Friday, September 11, from 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm, and it is open to middle and high school students who receive special education services. There will not be a fee for this program, but we do ask that participants register for it.
Stay tuned and stay well,
The South Shore SNAP Board of Directors

It’s officially fourth quarter at HHS and what better way to start off the home stretch than with the biggest pizza party in Hingham History? Pizza Palooza was a huge success again this year, and thanks to generous donations from the local community, South Shore SNAP was able to raise a record $10,150 through the event. Much of this profit will benefit SNAP Summer Camp at South Shore Country Club, where over 50 campers go for five weeks of fun every year.

South Street Gallery, 149 South St., Hingham, will hold its Art Appraisal Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 21.
All proceeds will be donated to South Shore Special Needs Athletic Partnership, a nonprofit organization that provides athletic and recreational activities for children and young adults ages 3 to 22 with cognitive and physical disabilities.
The recent Art Appraisal Day on Feb. 24 raised $300 that will help fund SNAP’s five-week summer program.
