From a recipient of Helping Hands: “Dear Carol, Thank you so very much for the food and the gift of money. Everything was so appreciated. It’s so nice to know that there are still “good” people out there in today’s world. You are truly a blessing in our lives. God bless your works at your Church.”
Thank you to Joni Sundeen, Barb Johnson and Donna Schleif for spending hours organizing the kitchen last week.
