Thank You!
Volunteers
A huge thank to our
community superstars who collected, gathered, and packed over 50 food bags for individuals and families in our area! This lively volunteer event reminded us of the collective power of our community and our ability to make an impact on hunger in our neighborhood.
Donations and Community Partners
A shout out to
Laura Walter and Unico Properties for their brilliant idea to donate toilet paper to us here at the Helpline. Because of their quick thinking and outreach, we were able to receive this necessary item for our hygiene bank, as well as distribute the remaining goods to both the Sacred Heart Shelter and Mary’s Place. Together we were able to spread the goods and make an even bigger impact!
The
Magnolia Rotary continues to be a valued partner and we are grateful for their strong commitment to our community and their generosity throughout the years.
We are thrilled to be partnering with the
