"One can, we can" inspires over 500

We at NHN humbly express our condolences to the family and friends of Mark Sprouse who recently went home to be with his Lord. What a testimony Mark had for loving his neighbor as himself! An impactful statement he shared, "one can, we can," motivated over 500 attendees at his memorial to bring a can to donate to NHN. May the legacy of Mark Sprouse inspire many more!

Neighbors Helping Neighbors appreciates our community for the many ways they support our mission.

Thank you to Lillie Pad Creations for the variety of delicious cookies for dessert this month.

Volunteer Spotlight

This month's volunteer spotlight is on Chip Moser . He is a devoted volunteer overseeing the parking lot and managing shoppers needs before they ever enter the warehouse on distribution days. He is such an asset due to his dependability, versatility, and a genuine compassion for those we serve. Chip's discernment in what needs to be done and willingness to do it are evident when he assists clients who have car trouble, when he pitches in to help load groceries, or when he effortlessly keeps the line of shoppers moving on rainy days. He also lends a helping hand to unload the Food Bank truck on Fridays. We salute you, Chip!
