Groups form Helping Hands,
schedule April 12 meeting
iskam mfkhmfk haws, The Clothes Closet, Empowerment Outreach
Ministries, Lighthouse Church and A Cause For Paws have joined forces
in an effort to support local families.
The group, named Grand Ronde Helping Hands, seeks to bring together
those who are supporting families in Grand Ronde to share services and
resources, and create a resource guide.
Helping Hands’ next meeting will be 9 a.m. Wednesday, April 12, at
iskam mfkhmfk haws, 9675 Grand Ronde Road. If you provide any type
of services to families in the community, consider attending. The group
is looking for meal site calendars, food box sites, clothes closets, showers
and laundry services.
There also will be a collection day at iskam mfkhmfk haws from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 15. Donations of Easter items, men’s clothing,
school supplies and pet items are being sought, as well as tents, sleeping
bags, pillows, warm blankets, rain gear and heavy jackets to restock the
shelves.
Helping Hands continues to seek a volunteer with graphic arts skills to
create a logo that represents all of the organizations. The logo would be
used on business cards, a banner and possibly a website, and the artist
possibly would receive a small honorarium.
