Closing out April

Thanks so much for checking in!  Donations over the last few weeks have been wonderful, and we have enough for all of the bags this week.  Thank you!  If you've made Helping Hands a part of your weekly shopping trips, you can drop them off at Crystal City Elementary School.  They will be needed over the last few weeks of school!  We are going to continue the program through Summer School, so any donations would be greatly appreciated!

We send home a full size jar of peanut butter and jelly once a month.  Grace Presbyterian Church is hosting a peanut butter drive this Sunday, April 29, to benefit the kids of Helping Hands.  We're so thrilled with the amazing support Grace Presbyterian has given over the last several months, and this peanut butter drive is a huge opportunity for us to stock up and continue to take care of the Helping Hands kids!  If you would like to donate, please bring your peanut butter to Grace Presbyterian Church this Sunday!

Thanks so much and have a great week!

Another amazing week!

What an amazing week!  Special thanks to the Festus-Crystal City Rotary Club for inviting us to their meeting this week.   Opportunities to share this program are such a blessing, and we appreciate the community support! 

We had a really great week in regards to donations.  Thank you so much for your generosity and for making this program such a priority.  All of the kids in the program went home with full backpacks this week, and we have enough to do the same next week.  If you've made Helping Hands a part of your weekly shopping trip, or if you're visiting us for the first time and would like to contribute, we  appreciate  your donations!  All donations can  be dropped off at Crystal City Elementary School and will be used to continue to feed Crystal City kids on the weekends.

Thanks and have a blessed week!

Have a wonderful Easter!

Thanks so much for again answering to our needs!  All of the Helping Hands kids went home with plenty of food to get them through the 4 day Easter weekend!  We can't say it enough...God has really blessed this community with caring, compassionate people who are willing to share what they have!  We are amazed each week at the generosity of this community, and so thankful for all you do.


The donations were so plentiful, we have enough for next weekend as well.  As you enjoy this Easter weekend with your families and friends, please remember the Helping Hands program and the children we serve in your prayers. Have a Blessed Easter!
