Groups form Helping Hands
The Clothes Closet, iskam mfkhmfk haws and A Cause For Paws have
started an ad hoc group called Grand Ronde Helping Hands and is inviting
community members to join the effort of supporting local families.
“The goal is to bring those of us together who are supporting families in
Grand Ronde to share the services and resources we provide and create
a resource guide we can all use,” said Food Bank Coordinator Francene
Ambrose.
The next meeting will be held at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8, at The Clothes
Closet at the end of Blacktail Drive near the Elders Activity Center.
“If you provide any type of services to families in our community, please
consider attending,” Ambrose said. “We are looking for meal site calendars,
food box sites, clothes closets, showers and laundry service. We are asking
churches, church groups, departments and support groups to share with
us. We are also collecting items for homeless families in our area, items
for camping, bed in a bag, reusable water jugs, silverware, plates, etc.”
In addition, a Helping Hands Collection Day is scheduled for 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, seeking donations of new, unwrapped toys,
warm coats, hats, gloves, socks and pet items.
If you are interested in joining the effort, contact Ambrose at 503-879-
3663 or at fambrose@marionpolkfoodshare.org. n
