We are so thankful to all of you who have taken the time to read about the needs of Crystal City children each and every week. Your thoughtfulness and willingness to step up and contribute to Helping Hands has given these kids the confidence and security of knowing that they will be properly nourished each weekend! God has truly blessed this community with wonderful people who are willing to share what they have with those who have nothing. Because of the response we have seen directly from the people of
Crystal City, we are confident that we can increase the number of
children we are able to serve in 2012.
A lot of deliveries were made this week and, as a result, we have all we need for next week. We can't thank you enough! Amazing! As you gather with friends and family in the coming weeks to celebrate Christmas, please remember Helping Hands and the children it serves in your prayers.
Merry Christmas and may God bless you and your families this Holiday season!

Week of December 12
Hello!
Following is an update for this week and next week. Currently, we are still at 17 kids. This week's items need to be in by Thursday, and next week's by Tuesday so that we can send the kids home with everything they need. We have quite a bit more room for storing donations as of this week, so feel free to bring in all of your donations for the two weeks at once if you'd like! It's so exciting to see the people of Crystal City come through for this program week after week! Thank you!
Week of Dec 12:
cans of Chili
fruit cups
Sleeves of Crackers
Apples/Oranges
Cans of Beefaroni
Cereal Boxes
Week of Dec 19:
Pop Tarts
Granola Bars
Mac n Cheese
Pudding
Cereal boxes
Apples/Oranges
Soup
Ravioli
*For the week of December 19, we would like to send home some additional, light-weight snacks. Since the kids are carrying the food home themselves, it's not feasible to send them home with two weeks worth of food. However, we will be including additional snacks such as cracker packs, fruit snacks, or anything else you can think of that is kid-friendly and also light-weight. Thank you!
