Helping Hands had another great month! We made it through the last full week in February with enough donations to send all 26 kids home with full bags for the weekends! As we were preparing bags for this weekend, we were blessed to find that we had just enough to take care of all of the kids. While it sometimes makes us a little nervous when we begin to run out, we have seen this community pull through for these kids time and time again, and we know we can continue to serve them through Helping Hands. We are really starting to see the benefit of this program through these childrens' grades and behavior. Your donations are helping to make it possible for them to reach their full potential!
March is right around the corner, and there are alot of needs for Friday, March 2. Following is a list of items we are completely out of or only have a few of:
Pop Tarts
Mac and Cheese (packet or box)
pudding cups
Ravioli
Beefaroni
Soup/Stew
Chili
Tuna
Individual cereal boxes
Granola Bars
Sleeves of crackers
We also need 19 more full size plastic jelly jars to send home for March.
The list is long, and we have alot of needs. We only ask for what we need, and you come through for us every time. If we all pull together and give just a little, as we have for the past few months, we can continue to ensure that the children in this program will receive the nutrition they need to get them through the weekend. Thanks so much for all you've done, and all you continue to do! Please take donations to the office at Crystal City Elementary School. Thank you!
